3.5/5

might almost be described as Tarantino-esque, were it not for the absence of tight plotting.

Totti is either genuinely foreign and amusing or is an incredibly gifted comic actor - his innocent, matter-of-fact delivery of [some of his lines] will have you laughing for days afterwards.

There's nothing particularly new here, but the storytelling style makes it worth a look.

After pulling this rabbit out of the hat, it'll be interesting to see what Ryan's next trick will be.

Plays much longer than the 98 minute running time.

A festival favourite because it's different; it's a cheeky micro budget film which gets over all its budget limitations with the realisation of Ray's character, and its slight story convinces us that there really is more to it than we have seen.
