Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
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.
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
