Reviews
A Brilliant Conflict
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
