Reviews
Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
