About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you’re into odd, dark comedies with a spooky, dreamlike vibe and a loose mystery thread, especially if you liked Scoop or Small Time Crooks; Not for you if you want a tight, suspenseful whodunit.
Pros: eerie foggy mood; offbeat dark humor; stacked supporting cast | Cons: meandering thin story; uneven laughs; unsatisfying wrap-up
