Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
