(Edit: ...and this flick has actually has gotten awards and nominations on several festivals as I read after I wrote the review below)
The brilliant acting, camera and hilarious twists of the story, not to mention the grown-up twisted humor all adds up to something which made it totally fun watching; great ride all along.
I haven't read up the production background yet, as I just finished watching after having been so positively surprised by this nice feelgood movie full of laughs but also with a message.
So I'm writing this quick (currently third) review while the screen just went dark and I reflect on it, and as this 2016 film deserves (much) more than two (2!) reviews. Common folks, write a more reviews on such indie film gems and less on the mainstream crap (I often think who adds a 679th review and thinks anyone is interested in reading, but, I digress)
Anyways, a few last words on the missused term "dark comedy" - the word "dark" should imo be better used on dark stuff, like "bad things happening to people but still a comedy" and other terms should be found for all these other great films which are not DARK, as this one - which actually cheers people up watching it. But hey, guess it won't happen.
And now Watch it and have fun :)
