"Definitely divisive, it's an intriguing slice of social criticism and black comedy. It's absurdities are glorious, the vapid, repeated dialogue a comment on the single-minded nature of the 'yolo' youth culture.
Everything about this is a delightful exaggeration, the women constantly in bikinis even when in a courtroom, the men chiseled pecs or leering at the feminine figure - the male gaze is so explicit it's a character in its own right, panning up and down the leads at every chance it has.
There are so many interesting shots and filming decisions such as maze-like plotting and lingering scenes that make you feel like you're watching a dream at times; indeed the main character at one points states their trip is a 'break from reality' - an apt summary for the whole film"
- 7/10
