Audience Member A synthesis of German and American? Or a story of the declassed petty-bourgeoisie being dissolved into the proletariat? Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Engaging documentary about twin girls incorrectly assumed to have created their own language. Turns in to a fascinating study of culture and class and how that affects two young girls in the middle of it all. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
