Reviews

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
