Reviews

[JanJan · Rating 4 out of 5]

I got this for the play 'The Servant."
This is a masterclass in storytelling and structure.

[L · Rating 1 out of 5]

Incredibly vapid, slow moving to nowhere without meaning to do so.
Pintar with Losey creates a content curve which reaches no higher than Death Valley.
