About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a bittersweet, darkly comic tale about pride, equality, and payback that stays engaging and a little strange, especially if you liked Dekalog or The Double Life of Véronique; Not for you if you need realism or a warm tone.
Pros: darkly funny edge; gripping rise-and-fall story; memorable lead performance | Cons: implausible plot turns; bleak, chilly mood; uneven pacing at times
