Stylish but barely mediocre overall
Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
