I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
