Just what I expected
Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
