Plush – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
The draw of Plush is Emily Browning and Dawn Olivieri, from House of Lies. This is despite Emily Browning being more miss than hit with the most recent titles I’ve seen her in, and with me not being very familiar with Olivieri’s work outside her role in House of Lies. Still, a fan is there…
