Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
