BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
