personally I think it's odd for a movie about a sideshow to feel so sterile and flat. i am usually a total sucker for a coming of age story, but this just felt a little disjointed and rushed at times. the last ten minutes brought my rating down.

absolutely worth the stink-o-vision induced headache! this shit was too fun, and a real treat as an obsessive stinky romantic

An entirely perfect movie. No notes.
