Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
