  1. Really enjoyable, I liked the simplicity of your prose and the clear synopsis you did, on the other hand your perspective of the movie sets a possition that reflects your wisdom whenever giving critics is about. The exact punctuation adds coherence. It shows why you were awarded, my reverence.
    Keep delighting me with your writing
    Respectfully
