Reviews

Diagonaldi Very well executed
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
