Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
cinamon_spice There's been a lot of documentaries lately about Cosplay, many having been clearly filmed and 'constructed' by someone that isn't involved in the community. This film gets right to the heart of what being a Cosplayer really is the diversity of those that engage in this hobby. It's extremely insightful and heart warming as we follow the Cosplayers through a typical convention year and see how they grow. Josh did a fabulous job of letting the community speak for itself instead of forcing unneeded drama and turning it into a popularity contest, it really is just about people. I highly recommend this for anyone curious to know more about this unique hobby.
leoleoneeq2 This is a fascinating introduction to the cosplay universe. The people that are followed seemed willing to be candid, genuine, and unassuming. The two female leads are especially honest and sweet, as they muddle through their relationships, like any young 'un. The directing and editing is superb. The film has a classic documentary feel. There are some surprise elements that are very engaging and endearing. In all, it is the quintessential "coming of age" drama with a cool creative twist. In addition to the main characters, there are many fun costumes and unique people who put in two cents about cosplay. I will watch this over and over to pick up new elements the clever director included.
