Reviews

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
