Reviews

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
