6/10
Not your everyday comedy
12 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
You can notice it from the very beginning. The irony, the comments, the cocky humorous moments and references and you can understand, that this is not just another comedy, who will offer the "normal" burst of laughing like all the other "normal" comedies offer so easily.

Why the hatred between them is so intense it is a question. We know nothing of them really, their past encounters and friendship, apart from a couple of mentions made by them when they meet for the first time after so long. But really so much hatred carried inside them for so many years hibernated ready to burst...why?

The answer to our question why they hate each other so much, is obvious throughout the film. There is no reason. It is the two them who have created this situation. They are successful yet unhappy, they have money and live a prosperous life, yet they are poor. With their downfall they carry other people with them. Their...war kills everything they truly had, the people they loved, the ones in which lied the riches and source of their true happiness.

The political spectrum is what mandates this film. The comedy is there as an irony of us being unable to understand what is funny and not. Of us, every single one of us, not understanding that what we do, what every single act in our daily life can cause to others. We are not alone in this world, we live among others. We cannot be indifferent, we cannot be absent minded and comforted by an ephemeral so called happiness. We are not powerful and strong and the others powerless and weak. The line between these two "factions" is very thin and can be very easily crossed; positions exchanged...

I am not afraid of the "crazy" aunt, I am afraid of the "sane" rest of us.
