Tom Andrews’s review:
Finally got around to seeing this. I loved it. Funny thing is that I knew not a shred of what the film was about. Setting, situation, plot, nothing. But I did kind of know about the ending. So I went into it with a weird sort of hybrid first viewing/second viewing kind of perspective. Don't know how that affected it. This movie is sharp and funny. The main actor totally owns every scene. The ending is fully deserved and is a perfect example of that kind of ending put to proper use. Loved it!
