This is How Movies Should Be Made
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
