The Institute Audience Reviews

Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
