A review by badelf
Written by badelf on 2025-11-08
This film does not work for me. Is it a good story? Yes. Is it a story that has to be told? Absolutely. Is it story that should be filmed in a pseudo-Andy-Warhol-warehouse "art" style? Fercrissake, no!! In my world, the visual should serve the story, not the director. I'm old and cranky and have seen way too much excellent cinema from all over the world, therefore, 5/10, IMHO, YMMV.
