Very Boring
This was a very boring movie, long periods of nothing happening. Story was not told very well at all, didn't feel for the characters one bit.
Must see!
An amazing movie, which dares to show our true side when we must survive, when we are scared. A film so real that few will understand, and those who will...well...take a day to recover. Brilliantly directed and acted. For an educated audience...
Likely to see
Not for me
