Film Frenzy

Matt Brunson

This box office hit is so much the minimalist two-character piece that it’s a wonder no enterprising Broadway producer has ever tried to turn it into a stage hit.

Kerr makes diffidence exciting as her character brushes up against some troubling emotions. She is held back by a story that doesn’t let her do much but in many ways, this film serves as a testament to her abilities...

I find very enjoyable its mixture of war, survival and impossible romance. [Full review in Spanish]
