It's no easy task to present a character like Elizabeth, who is this neurotic and annoying yet somehow still likeable. But of course, if someone can take on that challenge it's Tilda Swinton, who has cemented herself as one of the best living actor, with a long list of great and distinctive roles. And it's not to say Problemista is dependent on her, as it showcases a variety of oddball scenarios, all filled with imaginative imagery that accentuate the protagonist point of view as well as a peculiar sense of humour. A style that can feel a bit clunky, but at the same time adds to the charm of this quirky story. A quest for prosperous endeavours, like a knight confronting a dragon hoarding its gold... but the dragon is a bunch of corporate greed, exhausting bureaucracy and Karens.

*SPOILERS*

This story is actually smarter than that, as when confronting the dragon an understanding emerged that you can't just slay it, you have to work with it, change it, call it out and see the individuals behind it.
