      peyton c Well, it was better than Tenet. Truthfully. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Frances H Touching story, sad, but with an element of hope, about young people in a facility for the terminally ill, and bumblebees, who shouldn't be able to fly, but are. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/10/13 Full Review Audience Member I really liked this, it's hard to find but if you can find it see it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member not something great, but at least I found something about bumblebees :D and it is interesting the question ... trading your identity for life? Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow this was excellent, I had no idea what this was about it just came on tv and so I watched and was amazed! Great acting, the story is very deep and emotional and keeps you at the edge of your seat even without action, how could this be you say well I don't know either but it works and it delivers the thrills. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Honestly. this was crap. It had it's moments, but over all it felt cheeap, and scruffy, and not at all a film that delivered on it's premise. A waste of both a decent story and a bright eyed Elijah Wood.

      Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com Sincerity often paves the way for the maudlin and overly touchy-feely, and that's what happens here.
