To intellectually examine and dissect this movie is much better than to actually experience it. The deadpan/pitch-black viciousness grows entirely redundant over the length of the film. It’s framing, editing and score feels fun and different, but then reveals itself to be a one-note production as poor man’s Wes Anderson that never deviates from its norm. There are no new ideas revealed in the final sequences, which were all steadily made and mocked throughout the rest of the runtime. You have to really, really like its one cruel joke to keep laughing at it after 2 hours. I do agree that it’s a very unusual film.
