Could definitely go down as one of the defining films of 2024, considering how fresh and confident it is. Impressive how laugh out loud funny it is for the majority of its runtime, with some of the lengthiest hysterical sequences I’ve honestly ever seen, and I mean that as a compliment! Superb casting — everyone fits in like a glove.
Watched at the Vancouver Playhouse as part of the VIFF 2024 programming. Staunch difference in the demographics of those in attendance here compared to my first film of the festival — I definitely felt like I was amongst my own. When people talk about how unique film festival audiences feel, I totally felt that here — I’ve never heard a theatre crowd have such a rollicking good time.
