Reviews
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
