Happy Face Audience Reviews

MonsterPerfect Good idea lost in the noise

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
