Reviews
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
