Reviews
Great Film overall
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
