Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
