SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
