Ratings and reviews

I don't know why people don't rush to movies like this. I guess same reason I don't get Donald Frump. The lead, Fresh, was as beautiful as a fine cut diamond. The ending was poetry, awesomely beautiful poetry! I never felt the director's or DPs hand, and that's perfect. They did a perfect job. Heart wrenching BEAUTY and found in a full earth acre of weeds. Bravo to all. High honors to the writer. Perfect!

Beautiful, subtle symbolism and a powerful story of strategically dismantling one's opponents both on and off the chess board.

One of the worst endings I have ever seen I wish it would of ended with a bang
