Macerat It's Difficult NOT To Enjoy This Movie
Blaironit Excellent film with a gripping story!
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.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
