First time for everything! We really are here today with a film review! But really, if you follow us on twitter, you might have guessed that this was coming—we were both clearly very, very excited about Operation Hyacinth. So now that it’s been a week since the movie released on Netflix, let us tell you why exactly you should watch it too.
Before we start, though, a quick note: please watch the film with English subtitles, they’re definitely better than the English closed captions.
