Reviews
Fresh and Exciting
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
