About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you’re into grim, offbeat black comedies about messy people and small communities, with more discomfort than warmth; Not for you if you want likable leads or clear-cut humor like Jack Goes Boating.
Pros: strong ensemble performances; bleak neighborhood atmosphere; darkly absurd moments | Cons: uneven tone; hard to like characters; story feels thin
