Reviews
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
