Reviews
SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
