Reviews
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
