What people are saying

  • JJ Gonzalez
    ★ 5/10

    A love story, but make it hate itself. Don’t get me wrong, Yeun and Stewart are great, absolutely great actors and gave a good performance in this, but I really couldn’t get into it. So depressing and just bleh, definitely my biggest Sundance disappointment.
