3.0
3.5. I can imagine it might be stunning in performance.
The bland publisher's description is offset by the director's introduction ('English language premiere two days ahead of the inauguration of President Donald J. Trump'). 'Razor sharp comedy', says the back of the paperback. Comedy? This review is a riposte:
