Reviews

Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
ThiefHott Too much of everything
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
