Reviews

Ogosmith

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Guillelmina

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Haven Kaycee

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Cheryl

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
