Less of a comedy than a hilarious tragedy.

Story and style are all over the place, rendering it somewhat inaccessible. Admittedly, the whole film is in a bit of an aesthetic dither, which will confound many viewers.

Doesn't seem to know where it's going or why it's going there, and the result is an unusual movie that's entertaining but not particularly satisfying.

Funny, sometimes tender and ultimately unsettling black comedy.
