It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
