I couldn’t figure out how the hell to review this, so below the click-through, are my notes - verbatim - as I reacted to this film… which means there are spoilers.
Side-note: I can’t believe how angry I got over this film. I couldn’t go to sleep afterwards. I mean I guess the movie can be considered “good”, since it evoked quite the emotional reaction, but I just can’t grade it. ~The Brass
