An image of the new Western youth. Where technology rules and teaches. An ode to ignorance, almost a coming-of-age tale about incels, that starts strong, flattens in the middle and ends with a bang (or three).

It mixes the eclectic storytelling and visuals of both David Lynch and Wes Anderson. Truely a weird abomination of art, yet it works as a raw piece of cinema.

This movie tries too hard. It gets lost with different subjects and storylines that makes the movie flat and annoying.

Waste...
