Peter K @Vacadoug Jul 23, 2019 Just the right level of creepiness! See more Jul 29, 2018 Another movie that over represents a pitiful minority attempting to dominate our culture. Keep the muslims out of America and away from our democracy. See more Mar 18, 2018 One of my favorite movies. So beautifully done and the women were superb! See more Feb 5, 2018 I didn't see a plot line until I was well into the movie. I'd put the rape and misogynistic behavior up front and then resolve these in grained lifestyles.
