Synopsis

Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
