They Call Me Magic Audience Reviews

SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Nessieldwi 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.

BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
