one of the most powerful, funny, and disturbing films I have ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2017)

There was one scene in the middle of this film that made me literally shake in my seat. Tears nearly streamed down my eyes. My mouth was wide open. This was terrifying to watch...like, genuinely disturbing. But, then, no more than five to ten minutes later I was laughing my ass off at a witty remark or an awkward inconvenience. This movie has a power, a power few other works of art possess. It is this generation's "Fargo", which is not to say it isn't original or unique, because it is. The characters are extremely compelling and not exactly like any heroes or villains from any other film I have seen. As a matter of fact, this movie has no heroes or villains. It has people, and these people hold REAL emotions and act upon these emotions in an often brutal and shocking manner. Even characters who share one minute of screen time are well developed and enjoyable to just simply observe.
In the end, the film refuses to give us solid, conclusive answers or details. We are left sitting in our theater seats, forced to contemplate who the bad and good guys in our world really are. Is it a tragedy? Is it a comedy? You decide. I say it's both and it's neither. If anything, it is a pitch black tragicomedy that still contains elements of surprising humanity despite also being plagued by clouds of cynicism, violence, and just overall disgusting and disturbing behavior.
