Ratings and reviews

I'll be honest qnd say I've never watched this but its fairly obvious that this movie wasn't watched alot. Might come back and rent if it lowers but won't be buying it.

Easily one of my favorite movies of the year. Such a joyous celebration of queerness and just film in general. YMMV but it's style just drew me to it in so many ways.

Have watched Potato on a festival. This is brilliant and very touchy. (And very true, in an artistic way -- I know it becouse I know Russian life from the first part of the movie, it needs much grotesque to tell how it was). Wes Hurley himself compared his style with Taika Waititi (e.g. "Jojo Rabbit"), so it's no news that the manner has much in common. But I'd say let ALL films be like that ) It's really good.
