Audience Member Not worth watching. But has Warren Williams Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Story of a psychic, a swindler. But also a kind of strange, rather touching, love story. Love can make you try to go straight, but the economy makes you go bad. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member good carny melodrama Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
