Reviews
SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
