Reviews
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
