    Not Everyone Is Going to Like This... but You Should if You're a Writer
    This is one of those films which gets a lot of 10/10s for a reason, as well as predictable 1/10s. If you're a writer, and you've been in the writing scene long enough, this film is one horrifyingly enjoyable truth after another.

    If you're expecting a slapstick, dumb comedy, you're going to hate it.

    10/10 for me.
