Reviews

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
