I saw this when it came out and it still hits. I had no clue Steve Oedekerk also wrote Ace Ventura 2, The Nutty Professor, and Bruce Almighty. Funny dude.

There is not a single person who is normal in this film. This is the purest and most insane form of lightning in a bottle that I can ever recall seeing. Everything is so real, and so weird, and so fucked up. Everyone had to be exactly how they were for their entire lives — and all be in the same town — so that this unfettered chaos could come together into something just cohesive enough that you can't believe what you're watching is real life. It's a perfect documentary.

I'm a sucker for a Bryan Fuller project and I'm a fan of Mads Mikkelsen. I knew this was going to be a good time and I wasn't disappointed. The cinematography stood out, of course, but the score was also very fun. The pacing was a little slow but I kind of want everything to be 90 minutes without much wiggle room.

It was better than I thought it would be. The video game style animation made it feel like a very long cutscene and when I'm playing games, I instinctually skip every cutscene that I encounter. The gunshots were distractingly loud, so if you're into protecting your hearing, be sure to lower the volume during the action scenes.
