Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
