Reviews

Alunauwie

Rectoverso presents five emotionally rich yet unconnected stories that harmonize beautifully through strong visuals, thoughtful music, and mostly solid performances. While some narratives stand out more than others in depth and execution, the film still offers a unique and poetic viewing experience....
