Liked it, good film.
What the fuck is this shitshow? Not worth it. Terrible story, terrible ending.
Brilliant acting, but the ending is awful. It's not so much a cliffhanger as the writer just decided to get up for a cup of tea and never came back to it. Very disappointing.
I loved the movie from the start but...that ending was so annoying. I understand sometimes it’s good to leave a question mark but this takes the biscuit
One of my favourite films of the last few years. Top notch from everyone involved. Funny and horrifying. Love it.
