Thanks for cleaning up my shitty attempt to add a video by phone. I gave it a 4 for black comedy, prescient insights for its time (the influence of the internet and the rise of far-right politics), and presence of Redbird 7 trains. Some deductions because it ran about 10 minutes too long only for an ambiguous conclusion and there's some disturbing shit that it probably could've done without.

The director is small-time famous for films set on Long Island.

That's some dry tone.

What an odd and dark movie, some great performances, made more odd for me as the dialogue was out of sorts when they spoke ...James Urbaniak was in Oppenheimer

Fun to read up on the cast
