Reviews
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
