      Audience Member there were some funny moments few and far between but mostly it felt very raw around the edges, like a not-so-great student project. and the premise, kinda twisted, no? Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member I've seen this movie quite a few times. In fact, I own it. Smart, well-written, dark humor, great performances, and an in your face treatment of social dogma that keeps me coming back. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Definitely was cute, just...didn't turn out the way I'd wanted it to I guess? Lol Idk. Cute girls in it though too! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I liked it a lot, very good performance of everyone, specially Jill Hennessy that is so beautiful, geat plot! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Can't deny it's full of culture and beautiful people. Everyone is beautiful in this! But the acting is unrealistic and so's the story. Very indie feel, which I like. Still, it kind of leaves you wondering what's wrong with the writer. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member funny but also covers issues really well Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Ted Shen Chicago Reader The film runs out of comic situations after the first hour and resorts to too many senseless montages May 29, 2020 Full Review John Petrakis Chicago Tribune Its strengths are many, but by the end, it's clear that this debut feature has missed one too many opportunities that would have made it a sharper social satire. Rated: 2.5/4 May 29, 2020 Full Review David Parkinson Empire Magazine With henna tattoos drawing parallels between Indian tradition and the lesbian lifestyle, it's a canny sitcom. Rated: 3/5 May 29, 2020 Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) A lovely film about the complications of love and family, Feb 12, 2024 Full Review Sheila Reid Women in the Life It’s fun, fat-free and finger-lickin’ good.
