The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe Audience Reviews

Diagonaldi Very well executed

Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
