“Provocative and engaging—and, at times, wonderfully silly—Pretty Little Instincts is the kind of experience you’ll talk about for years to come.”

“A true winner, luxuriously mixing the natural ambiance with the movement of high society ghosts. . . a haunting work that destructs the folly of conformity in a rigid society.”
