What I liked

This is really fun, but really has a message and substance — something difficult to achieve. It’s engaging, and very well-directed.

What I didn't like

Personally, I really enjoyed the two characters used for the framing device — and would have liked to see them more integrated throughout the story rather than only just at the beginning and end.

My overall impression

A very dark parable on the forces of human nature. This is a strong comedic satire, with great performances from the two leads. It’s an engaging 50 minutes that truly makes you think about the hamster wheel that all of us are on…
