"Like a fever-dream, this gloriously dark film is a brilliant examination of humanity - it exaggerates the worst in us, that of the need to succeed no matter what the cost, in such a beautifully absurd manner that despite all his misgivings and lack of morality, you cannot help but want our anti-hero to succeed. As the stakes rise, so the understanding of people seems to wane, the lengths gone for the best shot or the best video trumping basic compassion. It's a beautiful mess that keeps devolving and highlighting the worst in people, and it's brilliant"
