Loved it
A paradox and a trip

Within the first fifth of the film, the set, setting, and outlook takes a dramatic turn. What was horrible reality transforms into a Dali-esque Fantasia for adults. In this way it is as I've said, a trip. And you'll just have to enjoy it to understand why it is also a paradox. Wrapping your head around this movie will likely delight you.
