Relaxer
20 July 2018 | by jflaherty131 – See all my reviews

I caught this film at Fantasia Festival this summer (July 2018). I had no idea what to expect and found myself pleasantly surprised by what I saw. I found Relaxer to be captivating of my attention throughout the entire film. I'm glad I checked this out.
