“Absolutely no clue on what to make out of this movie’s portrayal of gender. Outside of that it’s a fairly nice, satisfying film with good visuals” - Dogfood Williams Blood Café — ★★★
“visually flat and basic but engaging, memorable, and surprisingly philosophical” - Netscape — ★
“This would be a perfect movie if the love interest didn’t choose to turn into a woman.” - Haven — No rating
“The ending did Frol so dirty.” - Aaron Allard — No rating
“I enjoyed the scope of it all and the initial setup but the ending left a lot to be desired.”
