Reviews

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
