Critics has gave this movie grand admiration, Rotten Tomatoes giving an approval rating of 85% based on 26 reviews and a weighted average of 7/10 on Metacritic. Entertainment Weekly’s Chris Nashawaty called it “the most outlandishly surreal, straight-up WTF movie at this year’s festival, hands down.”
