I thought this would be interesting and was really interested in the chemical spill part of the movie and I was sure it was going to let that play out. Nope. But that would have been interesting. Instead this movie takes you on a really weird trippy journey in lives of people who just talk a lot. They get most of their words wrong or make up words as they go along and I found that really irritating. I'm not sure what that trope was about but, I hope not to see that again.
This is like an over-the-top dram(edy)--even though it isn't funny, about mundane people who can't focus on any one thing to save their lives. A mundane family of which the father is a professor who teaches Nazism (yeah of all things). There are other odd professors also in the same school who teach oddball stuff. One guy thinks Elvis is the sh** and lectures on that, while at the same time loves movie car crashes. None of the movie makes much sense and I became exhausted trying to figure out what they were saying that I just had to give up about 3/4 way through. The chemical spill did nothing for the film unless they wanted to make the movie about that, otherwise it was just there and as unrelated as everything else in the movie.
To compare this to anything would be like trying to imagine you have dementia for about an hour and a half. Yup. That is a good summation.
