Reviews
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
