Actually liked it a lot more the second time round - I still think the plot is it’s weakest element, but the fun stylised sets and fight sequences are more than enough to make it enjoyable.

As much as I like Alia Shawkat, I just don’t think the performances or writing were compelling enough to make me care about any of the characters. The moments of poetic loftiness and meaningful cut always to shots of urban animals didn’t feel earned, and especially towards the end it all began to seem a bit pointless.
