6What people say
This review is based on a true story.Last night a human being watched this stoned and almost had a heart attack from fright.
Scary, but less scary than heartbreaking, suffused with grief and guilt and dread, with the sense that there's no system truly prepared to combat madness or pain, there's only trial and error, the compromise of barely surviving them.
