So I just flatly loved this movie, and I keep editing myself trying to write it up, because I don’t want to ruin any of its little moments. It’s not like anything else I’ve seen, and you shouldn’t read stuff about it; just go see it (or see it as soon as it’s in your home somehow).

So the thing about this movie is, it’s fundamentally a movie about family; it’s this small intimate character drama about the relationships between a husband and wife, and a mother and daughter. And I guess also a small-business owner and an IRS auditor. It’s well-acted and the relationship stuff is done well, with big thematic beats but also a certain amount of subtlety.

But also it’s this incredibly over-the-top stylistic explosion of weirdness — it’s not many movies that have a Wong Kar Wai pastiche and hot dog fingers and a Ratatouille riff and martial arts and a completely silent sequence and a butt plug sequence and … well, you get the picture.

It’s tonally all over the place, and yet it’s also incredibly thematically unified: It’s funny, it’s wacky, but it’s always at all points that relationship movie first and foremost. Everything about it is in service of the characters and their relationships to each other.

It’s doing something I haven’t seen any other movie do, and it’s doing it incredibly well. Highly recommended to basically anyone who isn’t afraid of movies being a little unusual.
