Reviews

Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
RyothChatty ridiculous rating
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
