Reviews
That was an excellent one.
Excellent but underrated film
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
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.
