Reviews
Lawbolisted Powerful
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
whatithinkis with music and pacing to match. Elegant photography makes the ugly pleasurable. The voice over caresses time-hopping juxtapositions and Sam Donnelly does everything but grief well. My issue is with the pacing. Almost too slow to justify the excruciating wait for an ending that is just barely worth it.
