It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
