"This three-hour film is so rich, so strange, so darkly glittering that we’re bewildered where to begin.

There is something Joycean — and accolades come no higher — about this ambitious, exploring, ellipsis-rich film."

Nigel Andrews, The Financial Times

★★★★

"An unnerving, bold and subtly complex dissection of male ego and aggression."

David Jenkins, Little White Lies
