Reviews
“A consciously disrespectful and tasteless attack on the bigotry of apparent bourgeois decency, which as a pitch-black comedy blames neurotic adults for childish misconduct; Thoughtful despite the twisted shape. "
“The fun doesn't keep what the beginning promised, but there were still two sequels. Conclusion: starts funny and ends in kitsch. "
