Devastating Film

"Film Movement came out of left field with this one. Wonderful discovery."

— Jonathan G. (5/5)

Fantastic

"Just a fantastic release"

— Bobby W. (4/5)

A engaging release from IFC

"A engaging release from IFC that almost serves as a precursor to Anora. Although the release only includes a commentary, I still found it pretty informative."

— Charles S. (5/5)

Sleeping Beauty

"A very depressing film. If you’re into that, then it may make for a depressing dark double-header with a movie dealing with similar dark themes called Starry Eyes. Otherwise, there isn’t much reason to recommend this."

— Shawn J. (2/5)
