AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
