Reviews
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
