About
If you enjoy twisted, absurd black comedies that mix laughs with discomfort and social bite, this should land, especially if you liked Common Wealth or The Bar; Not for you if you want gentle, feel-good humor.
Pros: wicked black humor; fast, escalating chaos; sharp social satire | Cons: uncomfortable nastiness; goes too far; uneven later stretch
