Reviews
A compelling, if damning and willfully extreme portrait of the mores of 21st century humanity.
The film is marked by the same darkly humorous sensibility of rest of Solondz's work, excpet that the novelty is gone and the acerbic vision is now contained in a fractured text marred by poor storytelling and shifting tone--it's not easy to shock anymore
The first tale of woe makes a sharp short film by itself, but the second is a stretch.
In a scabrous follow-up to Happiness, Todd Solondz once again crafts a movie easier to admire than it is to like.
It's never less than interesting, that's for sure, but I didn't like it.
