Not a comedy, but a great black satire - though not for everyone's taste
15 August 2022
Although in the comedy genre, this is not a comedy, it is really a black satire on the egos, snobbery, and ridiculeseness which takes no mercy on self-entitled geniuses that can be seen in the artistic world (I don't think it is limited to movies, and to some extent also not only to the artistic area either ;)).

It is ironical, absurd, dark and sooo entertaining (for me at least). The perfomance of the actors is really flawless. I do wonder how they felt playing in a movie like that... I hopr it was refreshing for them as well!

The story is somewhat predictable (my girlfriend guessed the ending after 20 minutes) but that doesn't reduce the entertaining value.

If you want a light comedy, this is not. If you have a darker (not black, but grey rather) sense of humour and want to see a not-sugarcoated commentary on the world around us, you might really like it.

PS for other people that seen the movie, my favourite scene is the one where someone says something like "those atemporal tribal rythms", and the following replies... that was golden!
