AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
