| User ReviewPrivate UFantastic. Very funny but at other times makes you want to bathe. A surprising movie that is one worth seeing. |
| User ReviewCraig BThe music by Mark Tschanz magnificent, making the athmosphere magical together with all the other aspects. I love the filmography, the actors, the dialogues. It is very near perfection in its genre. A movie one can watch again and again and again without getting bored with it and always finding something new to grasp ones interest. |
| User ReviewSara AHavn't seen this for ages but i remember thinking it was the best ever film at the time. Gonna check it out again soon. Will let you know. |
| User ReviewNeil FUtterly magnificent, and a real shame it's not particularly well known. Try and catch it on Film 4 some time. |
| User ReviewAudrey FI'm sooo happy I finally got to see this gem. I love the movie's esthetics, also as a methaphor for... no, I am not going to leave spoiler. Gotta see that for yourself : 0 |
| User ReviewLisa FExtremely intelligent dark comedy in which the whole premise is brilliantly funny. It 's the kind of film that you should watch twice to see what you missed. I loved it and I wish there were more films like. |
| User ReviewJames MFound this on late night on film 4 and it was fab! Am going to try and find it on DVD so I can watch it whenever I like! |
| User ReviewTor GA dark comedy that for some reason I just love to watch when I can't sleep. It doesn't make me sleepy but I feel better about being awake. Not much of a recommendation, is it? But it has Daniel Craig ... who has once of those voices I could listen to all night. |
| User ReviewVig SI really liked the atmosphere that this film gave - there were some great performances, and despite the film not being very spectacular in any way (with very little happening, very little tension etc), it wouldn't have been as good if it did have. |
| User ReviewKonrad R"Psycho" meets "Delicatessen". They might do something with the microphones sticking out in every second shot, but except that it's really nice story with bizarre characters, tasty visuals, good actors and wonderful music. Moody, worth seeing. |
