Review: (#1) A blocky, bland design that tries to present the characters in a compelling way, but ultimately fails.

(#2-#6) While these posters aren’t technically part of a series, they have a compatible visual aesthetic that makes them feel like they are. These slice of life images are fitting, but a bit bland.

Trailer Rating: C+ / C+

SEE ALL TRAILERS BELOW
Review: (#1) The trailer presents this film as one of either two things. The first is a compelling ensemble drama about life and all its joys and pitfalls. The second is a tedious narrative of predictable moments and less than worthwhile events. Depending how each viewer takes in the trailer, they could be excited or they could be disappointed.

(#2) This collection of individual stories struggles for much of the trailer’s runtime to convince the audience that even one of them is worth catching the film. The trailer almost gets us there, but like its predecessor, it lacks excitement.
