The Grand Master Audience Reviews

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
