10/10
An acquired taste I think.
7 March 2024
I'll start by saying, in a full cinema, 7 people left, 2 very early and me (37 year old man) and my mum (70) went as we have the subscription. It was so different but also kinda familiar. I can see why some weren't keen, you need to be able to switch off and lose reality for a bit.

For me it was a bit like drop dead Fred meeting Beetlejuice meeting the new age Wednesday on Netflix. It was really funny, the music was amazing and I think the film hinged on how much you enjoyed the performance of the lead as she's 90% of the dialogue, I thought she was excellent, seen her before, but her eyes, mannerisms and delivery were excellent. It might remind you of things but it's so individual.

There's daft humour, bad language, a lot of sewing, and hilarious groping, I can't give enough away, but if you want to lose near 2 hours, laughing at ridiculousness and a really great new film then this is perfect.

What's sad is so many people in their little boxs score this badly because they don't give it a chance or are incapable of opening their minds! It's sad people crush creativity through lack of effort or attitude to enjoy new things.

Not quite top 3 this year
