A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
