Wonderfully offbeat film!
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
