About
If you enjoy offbeat, talky character-driven comedy like Ecce bombo or Respiro, you’ll likely have fun here; Not for you if you want a fully focused political documentary or a more restrained, less surreal tone.
Pros: quirky humor; entertaining dialogue; charming score | Cons: monopolizes screen; director’s block pacing; slightly predictable surreal finale
