A tour de force of grime, fluorescence and destinationless velocity, is more concerned with atmosphere than meaning.
Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
If it weren't so smartly filmed and acted, this might add up to an over-the-top mess. But watch how inventively Mr. Antal keeps the action moving and you'll see why his picture has won a passel of prizes.
Crowd-pleasing, darkly comic joyride.

Darkly funny and metaphorically potent.
