Reviews
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
