It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Kaydan Christian

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Guillelmina

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Bob

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
