Users Reviews

All of the stories were interesting, but they didnt really connect together. I think I would have preferred to see it as 4 vignettes. The least interesting part was the topiary gardener, to me its not an interesting or important skill. My favorite...
When I read this movie's details I thought to myself...sounds interesting. How wrong I was! Bad filming, combined with lackluster interviews, I am surprised I even made it through the whole movie.
Likely to see
Not for me
