“I was reluctant to watch this movie due to its length but when I finally watched I was nicely surprised. The idea is a good one and some stories were interesting and moving, although there were parts uncomfortable to watch tbh. I was surprised by the final story, I must admit it was unexpected. At the end, I enjoyed the film but I think that if they made it shorter, the movie would be more memorable.”
