Reviews

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
