Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
