  • Amaia Benitez
    A touching and heartfelt movie. The performances felt genuine, and the story was beautiful.
    Rating: 4.5

  • Kendra Ortega
    The plot was full of holes, and the acting felt forced. I had higher expectations.
    Rating: 2

  • Joyce Caldwell
    An overhyped movie that failed to deliver. I didn’t connect with the characters or the plot.

  • Emmett Frederick
    A decent watch, though the pacing felt a bit slow in the middle. The cinematography was great, though.
    Rating: 3.5

  • Ariella May
    Way too long and dragged out. It had potential, but it lost me halfway through.
