Glenn Kenny New York Times 12/13/2018
A scary, dryly funny dissection of entrepreneurial absurdism bleeding into existential and metaphysical despair. Go to Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety 11/30/2018

01/12/2019 I hated everyone in this movie. Looks great but is hard work at times. I get it. That's about it. See more 12/31/2018 Weird start. Quite vague. Looks like it was filmed on video - grainy. Pretty B grade. No idea why it has a high rating. See more Read all reviews
