      Audience Member It's tale with optimism, pessimism, surrealism and what is the flaw of the movie is that the good direction couldn't make fits nothing at all. 4/10 Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member is an engaging film for being unpretentious - a drama is taken lightly. has with many funny moments. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting sociopolitical satirical commentary in the form of Bunuel. Almost a cuban Animal Farm, this light-hearted comedy uses a messy bus terminal of uncertain escape as a backdrop for many transiting folks with different destinations, hopes and desires. the common dream sequence was nicely done, as were the funny sidetracks like feasting on spam, cats & lobsters... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member dreams and reality often do not collide... but in desperate situations, perhaps a sweet dream can surface and present new opportunities. how many of us give in to the daily toil? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member "Liste d'attente" "Lista de espera" Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved this movie! I was engaged with the characters right from the start and surprised at the ending. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
