Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Teddie Blake
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Lachlan Coulson
This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
