Once I realised this was actually a comedy, it became infinitely better!
Every scene had completely ridiculous lines, actions and inconsistent motivations. Only a true comedy genius can make something like this.
It's beautifully shot. I was expecting this to be a dramatic, coming of age style movie. Most comedies are shot in high key, so you can tell it's a comedy right away. But the serious tone and flat coloring really leads you down a different path. But once you realise it's just a carefully crafted deception, and that it is a comedy, it becomes even funnier.
If you go into something with the expectation to laugh, you are waiting for the punch lines. But with this comedic genius, you're left questioning "is this meant to be funny?" Once you realise the joke, the surprise hits you even harder.
