Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
