...stereotype. Granted, like every other little girl in this country, I was raised on a solid serving of Disney princesses. I grew up dreaming of falling in love in a storybook fashion; my glance would fall upon the doting eyes of my soul mate—love at first sight!

The developed characters and crisp cinematography are further enhanced by an impressively haunting score. The music boldly deepens the film’s emotional impact without drawing too much attention away from the narrative. More importantly, the score offers a sense of unity in a potentially...
