 "...compulsively watchable.... if memorability is one of art's hallmarks, it has more of that than many films with 50 times its budget." |

 "...nuanced... posits the piracy phenomenon less as anarchic criminality than as logical outcome - an ecosystem of sorts - of the globalized world economy." |
