Reviews
pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
