Reviews
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
