some parts were a bit drawn out, but what a force this movie is. love the story behind it, and love the execution! incredible 🖤
beautiful indie number. Slow burn, very heartfelt and emotional.
The actual guts of the movie are slightly too thin, but overall it is a really neat movie. Great shots and a really neat language. It is worth a watch honestly, just don't expect to have your feet swept out from under you.
