Reviews
SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
