What the critics say
Critics mostly agree the climax and interval are crisply edited, one even calling it a rib-tickling dark comedy, but say the comedy is hit-or-miss and some characters feel underused.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 4 readings; 0 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
