Reviews:
Hard to digest 
This movie is less amusing and gives audience something to think about. It’s a challenging movie, plot and picture are dark, a bit depressed, even. Certainly this film is worth seeing it but you shouldn’t expect easy entertainment for a cosy evening with popcorn on the sofa.
