Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
