A weird and twisted character study of self absorbed, clueless narcissists ad nauseum.
I know, it's supposed to be a clever dark comedy, but having actually encountered more than a few examples of the very characters portrayed here in the real world, it was more like watching the equivalent of experiencing nails on a chalkboard.
I'm not knocking the film, or caliber of acting and direction, quite the contrary. As a film, it's actually a very well created production.
As a sort of snapshot into a world which really exists (well, sort of), perhaps it's a bit too realistic for comfort.
OK, the art gallery fight scene was more than a bit over the top.
Not to deliver any spoilers here, but perhaps an apt description could be summarized as a spectacular reversal of fortune story, mapped into a bizarre parallel universe of quirky characters and seemingly impossible scenarios which are actually all too real, depending upon which version of reality one might encounter at some seemingly random moment.
Not sure how to rate this, might not be for everyone, but it is definitely unique. A cautious seven stars . . .
