Reviews
Disturbing yet enthralling
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
