Reviews
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Blistering performances.
