Reviews

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
