Alternately depressing, brutal, and hilarious, with an undercurrent of bleakness running through it all. A masterfully-crafted examination of how cycles of abuse create multi-generational mental and behavioral prisons, as well as the ultimate futility of life and human relationships. Visually unique and groundbreaking, but not always easy to follow.
