Reviews

We read them all: the case for is kit.everything's, funniest is omni_omar's. Marked below.

omni_omarFunniestThe Comfort Seeker★★★½
It is exhausting in the best way, and then the rocks talk and I was done for. A film about kindness disguised as a film about everything.
kit.everythingThe case forThe Genre Devotee★★★★
A film that tries everything and lands most of it, which is a better ratio than films that try one thing. The rocks scene is the best silence in a loud movie.
