The Bronze is just another movie about overcoming arrested development. It’s not as funny as it tries to be, but, for a few, fleeting minutes, it leaves an impression. Read full review

The first act of the film wins some laughs on surrealist shock humour, but at the expense of ever accepting this character and her world as real. Read full review
