My review · Reviewed 01/07/2011
This movie was a real gem. From the long view it is a dark, dark (and I mean DARK) comedy masquerading as a drama. In reality it is a motley collection of characters that appear to be really "out there" but in reality might be closer to people we know than we think. The film had quite a few laughs and towards the end there might be the funniest four words ever uttered in a movie that I've reviewed. I absolutely howled, not necessarily because of the words (they are disturbing) but because of the timing.
