Nonureva Really Surprised!
SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
