I went into this with high expectations. I heard great things about this film from a person who sees a lot of cinema and reviews films for a living so when she was in love with it I decided to check it out.
It's one of those rare films that is both artsy, different, unique and..fascinating, thrilling and actually relateable. It has a plot, that moves, for a most part, with a pleasant speed. It grabs your attention, there is something everyone can relate to or at least - recognize and say:"Yes, I know other people like that."
It's interesting, multi-layered and has a lot going on in it. The characters are just likeable enough that you can feel a bit sorry for them here and there. I wouldn't call it a comedy. It is classified as one, but it certainly isn't the sort of humour that makes you laugh. It's dark, satirical and certainly very clever and intelligent, but I didn't feel in any way uplifted or humoured leaving the cinema. It is obviously a great movie. Anyone can tell you that, it was awarded highly at Cannes after all, but better than that (for me personally), it was one that I actually liked.
