💬 Reviews
Really good watch, would watch again, and can recommend. The concept of living a life without "joy" is intriguing, but it doesn't feel like a very cinematic story as a concept. The movie takes great pains to try to compensate for this. I believe the casting definitely helped here. And sure I understand guys fainting at the thought of being with Morena Baccin, but I'm not about to kick Meli…
