For me, this is easily the funniest film weve had so far. I think on my first watch, I was on the fence for a bit but after the Heartless Woman choked on the olive I was fully on board. I felt like I was a lot more receptive of the humor this time around as well. Even the small bits of dialogue like when the hotel manager says, That would be absurd or the woman who likes the biscuits talking about killing herself by jumping from a window and her room being on the first floor got a laugh out of me. The funniest part for me being when Colin Farrell says, The last thing I want right now is a kiss from a silly little girl, pauses and then fucking kicks her.
I really like the introduction to the world thats revealed through the dialogue when it shuts down any concept of the nonbinary. Youre either a size 44 or 45, no halves. Youre either a human in a relationship or an animal. It sets up the rules of a bizarre world with no nuance where everyone speaks with no filter and if you dont have a relationship, you have no standing. Everyone has an incredibly stupid defining characteristic that serves as the entire foundation for the relationships that hold so much weight in their society and its hilarious how absurd it is. And the rebel group is just as twisted (shudder at the imagery of the Red Intercourse).
Enthralling for the most part but I do start to feel a bit tired by the end. Just a bit. On the edge between an 8 and 9. I had it at a 9 before but Im feeling a very high 8 this time around.
