3/4

A story that begins as farce but that evolves into something approaching satirical profundity.

My advice is to choose the first half, where things are really funny until they aren't.

4/5

An outburst of filmic inventiveness and a nicely convoluted plot with elements of outright fantasy, nearly all of which works.

Una satira envuelta en humor negro hace que la reflexion sobre el control sexual y la manipulación femenina se conviertan en situaciones fantasiosas e hilarantes muy a lo Alex De la Iglesia.
