Excellent acting by a great ensemble cast, but overwhelmingly by Jason Watkins, make this both a meditation on the human condition in a media saturated age, and a gently ironic portrayal of a true 'eccentric' which never descends into parody. Leaves the viewer with lots of food for thought about how our society deals with "difference", how individuals see themselves, and how lazy thinking can seduce even the best intentioned.
