SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
ShangLuda Admirable film.
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
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.
