Harockerce What a beautiful movie!
ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
