Ballad of a Small Player Audience Reviews

Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
