I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
