It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
