Harockerce What a beautiful movie!
RyothChatty ridiculous rating
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.
Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
