Reception
[edit]Nick Perry of Boston Hassle called the film a "pertinent social commentary full of genuine hilarity and frank shock".[2]
Ernesto Zelaya Miñano of ScreenAnarchy wrote that Rose "fully commits to his absurdist, black comedy tone" which "works wonders", and called the film a "refreshing change of pace from mainstream comedies and their seemingly mandatory gooey, feel-good moments."[1]
J. R. Jones of the Chicago Reader wrote that under Rose's direction "any laughs inherent in the premise are smothered by the defensively smug tone".[3]
