Reviews
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
