Hilarious from the first death to the last.

Rating: 10/10 (20 February 2018)

Hyperbole often undermines the experience of seeing a film for yourself, so I'll keep my laudatory reaction, (rather than a review), short. This film is visionary and brilliant. It is laugh aloud, and long, funny from gloomy beginning to grey end, death and horror its key ingredients. It is more than the sum of its parts, parts which include the afore mentioned and: Iannucci's obsession with human mortality, a script that's breathlessly full of of mordant one liners, and unbelievable situations, based on reality, brought alive by the perfect timing of a, truly, impeccable ensemble cast. (Crowned by a king making performance from Steve Buscemi.)
