Had never heard of this one, but not mad I watched it. It’s got a certain charm to it that made it enjoyable, but I didn’t love it as much as many reviews I saw did. It would be a solid addition to anyone’s December watch list.

Actually a really good and just beautiful movie. The ending with the camera at the billboard was just amazing. I don’t understand how this is so unknown, especially with how good the acting was aswell.
