Reviews
Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
