CGiii Comment

A very painful watch...not only because of the erratic split screen...but, who wants to watch a prissy, over-dramatic, ridiculously sensitive, tantrum throwing, pissed queen cause unnecessary trouble!?!

They laughed [quite possibly, innocently] and he threw a bottle!

It's a powerful film...wholly unpleasant though. But...it certainly makes a statement!
