    Late Spring

    ★★★★★

    I don’t understand this movie. I started watching it late and had to turn it off early and go to bed, and assumed maybe twenty minutes had gone by but it’s been nearly an hour.

    1. We must destroy BRI the same way “Blackfish” nearly destroyed Seaworld.
    2. How the hell are the Kowalksis still alive? They looked 80 in 1980. Is it the concentrated evil?
