While Ripstein’s satirical approach lends an appealing bassline, his format fails to capture the victory’s emotional resonance.

Feels like lukewarm leftovers.

Herzi boldly resists the impulse to deliver a thematically easy scene.

Rehmeier cares about individuality, and he has a sense of humor.

Lotta sound and fury, but not much signifying. 

May not check off all of your boxes, but it largely succeeds on its own terms.

It’s a lurid, explicitly violent, well-acted, and preposterously plotted fever dream.

It’s a film that tries to serve two masters, and doesn’t have the power to really honor either.

It’s propaganda for household slugs.

It’s a film that changes every time you, the viewer, lose the chance to be fully present for someone you love.
