SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless
SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
