Reviews

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
