      Kimber Myers Los Angeles Times There's little self-editing here, giving the audience insight into her pain, an experience that is both moving and uncomfortable in its raw state. May 10, 2019 Full Review Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness Starting out with the straight-forward intent of meeting her biological father, Vilaysack finds herself capturing a raw and emotional journey whose answers only create more questions. Rated: 4.5/5 Jul 6, 2019 Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat Origin Story makes the statement "you're not alone" and "you don't have to go through it alone."
