Audience Member Long, slow and boring. Waste of time! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Worst, most disgusting film I've ever seen. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Whacky movie! If you like movies where the whole movie has you asking "what's going on?" then this one might be for you. It's definetly not your normal whodunnit and I'm still not sure I get it :) William Dafoe was quirky and great. This was the 1st time I've seen Claudio Botosso... I liked her acting. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Probably the best WORST MOVIE I've ever seen. What was WD thinking? 20 taka panite gelo + 100 boring minutes. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member This one comes off like a complete vanity project. The story fails to reveal any information about the characters and the ending makes me wish I never bothered to watch this. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member This was pretty weird...I did not expect that ending. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
