Reviews
Wonderful character development!
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
