I Liked This Movie Pretty Well.
"This was a pretty good find. A thriller involving identical twin sisters, with a lot happening throughout. The design of the film features some pretty cool artwork and the picture and sound are both like the movie's title, 'superior". I can recommend this film."

Superior Factory 25 Bluray Review
"Factory 25 is the OCN Partner Label that releases some great and underseen indie films. Here they release 2021's Superior which is about a girl who while on the run travels to her childhood home and her twin Vivian. The movie is a well made thriller and had good acting and held my interest. The movie was shot on 16mm and has a wonderfully grainy look that I love. There is a lengthy booklet, a short film, Q & A session and a commentary. The slipcover is great quality too. Check out this release if you love indie dramas or indie thrillers. It was well made."
— Mark P. (5/5)
