While the conspicuous placement of the Catan game in Tony's house may at first seem out of place for a loner like him, and therefore an error, it more likely represents his innermost hopes and plans for a life with stronger social connections.

Truly enjoyable hidden gem on Netflix.
An unassuming lead who represents everyone of us in a way that no Hollywood regulars ever could, in a great performance. Elijah Wood in a messed up artsy role. Unique, DARK but often hilarious film. A weirdly entertaining and familiar tale.
Entertaining from beginning to end, with no breaks, in my opinion.
Excellent film that performs way beyond the statistics!
