Audience Member Incredible. Moving, real, and thoughtfully told Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting, not riveting. The acting is well done, the script & story is barely enough to keep you watching to the end (which could have been better). Still if your bored and cant be bothered lifting your bum off the couch then this will suffice for 90 mins :) Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member This film-fest fave is a deeply felt, if occasionally amateurish, journey through some very affecting terrain. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member this movie was pretty freaken crazy Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member How Scary can a movie Be! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member not really as thought provoking as one might expect, but still worth a watch!
