Reviews

Diagonaldi Very well executed
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
bettycjung 1/9/17. You can call this "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Mushrooms." In a matter of just 50 minutes, Fortey manages to entice you with the wonders of an edible (well, you have to know what you're eating) wonder on this planet. Many times we just think of mushrooms as serving no useful purpose but be a food source for animals and humans, growing from decaying trees. NOT. Watch and learn something new!
