Moviegoers are saying

Robert DanielsMar 29, 2026This movie is for the freaks, the weirdos, the Guy Maddin heads, the black box theatre troupes, the ladies who wanna get fingered by a disembodied finger, the perverts who like to scratch and sniff. Forever in awe of Grace Glowicki as an auteur, an actor and an artist. This…
