A second watch for this dystopian black comedy from director Ben Wheatley, after having watched it on release in 2016.
I didn't like it the first time, but wanted to give it another try after a friend's positive reaction. Unfortunately it didn't work any better for me the second time around. Perhaps absurdist black comedy isn't my thing, but I found very little to be amused by (I think I counted a single line in the whole film that made me laugh) and an almost complete lack of sympathetic characters. Maybe that's the point, maybe you're supposed to dislike everyone involved, but it doesn't result in a very satisfying experience for me.
