Don't Believe the Hype
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
