Reviews
not horrible nor great
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
