Nonureva Really Surprised!
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
