Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
It's one of the most original films you'll likely see all year, which, depending on your threshold for certifiably crazy storylines, could be a rewarding experience or one that frustrates you.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
