Reviews
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
