Well, I'm giving it a 10 because it sucks that such a good movie gets a low imdb score.
But also - not really. I enjoyed it tremendously, more than some smarter, better crafted, more artistic movies. Easily the most enjoyable film of the year, so why not rate it a 10.
It really felt like a breath of fresh air - a kind of sincerity that comes either from the author being perfectly precise or just stripping themselves of all self-consciousness. In this case, it's the latter - and it creates a kind of connection with the filmmaker that reminded me of my best experiences in cinema.
It's not your von Trier's "I'll shock you in this calculated way, and I hope you'll like me", or Almodovar's "I'll shock you to drive a point home". It's "if you are getting shocked by a movie, and not by everything that's going on outside, what the hell is wrong with you?!"
It doesn't say much, imho - just vents about all the things wrong in the world - but it's heart-felt and full of that Eastern European humorous acceptance of the unbearable stupidity of it all. Joyful - come see.
