Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
