Absolutely Fantastic
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
