troy-boulton - 12 January 2023 A gorgeous, flaming s#!tshow This film is a deliciously crunchy social commentary comestible. Subversively slow-burn at first, almost to the point of being painful, it soon accelerates exponentially into flaming brilliance.
The casting is brilliant, the performances spot-on. Well crafted writing and sharp direction back this up to ensure the film delivers on all levels. If you like your humour dark, with a touch of the acrid, you will be in for a treat. This one grabs you by the gut and doesn't let up once it gets going.
No one, and I mean no-one, it spared from a skewering in this observation of human nature and social dynamics in a world that's lost its balance.
