This movie was honest and nuanced and heartbreaking in all the right ways. The performances were extraordinary.
My family and I talked about this film and the issues it addresses for days afterwards.

This film is smart and hard to watch in all the right ways. Writer Chisa Hutchinson does what she does best: asks us to look at the ugly side of ourselves we would rather not face while also somehow finding unexpected moments of beauty. The actors execute the thought-provoking script to perfection. It's not an easy watch, but it's gripping and important and well worth your time.

Exciting, gripping, and provocative!
Compelling characters and a wild situation that opens up Pandora's box. A meaty watch, smart and ENTERTAINING. Solid acting, looks great -- I'm glad I checked it out.
