Charming and brutal
It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
