Reviews

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
