Reviews
BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
