User Reviews

Well it's certainly a, erm, thing??

I'm sure this movie had all subtle and deeper meanings in its story, that expressed certain aspects and parodies between a species of consumers and the human condition, but I didn't get it. There were moments where I thought I was starting to understand but I'm ultimately too dumb so...

It's an interesting and engaging film with a fantastic cast. I may not know what I just saw but I know I enjoyed it.

I've made no sense have I?
