Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
