ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
