The novelty wears off fast

Rating: 4/10 (22 April 2019)

A strange movie that obviously tries to go against the grain and explore some dark topics while aiming for a dry dark comedy tone. For a while it works, as in the beginning the acting of Domhnall Gleeson keeps you entertained, and it's easy to get into the whole surreal premise.
However, after spending more time with the characters and as soon as the plot slows down, the novelty wears off. The movie becomes tedious, very predictable and (FRANKly) boring, with it's attempts at comedy landing disappointingly short and characters somehow managing to be at once both obnoxious and uninteresting.
Laden with predictable cuts and a boring story that tries to tackle the topic of mental disease & isolation but barely manages to scratch the surface, finally we arrive at the very hokey ending, thinking of how much better this could have been.
