Reviews
ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre
mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
