From my favorite movies..
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
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.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
