Johnny Oleksinski New York Post 4d
1/4
Yet another stale art-world satire with nothing to say except that collectors are pretentious nuts. Go to Full Review Matt Donato TheWrap 6d
3/5
It’s far-fetched and diabolical in the right moments, however stunted the overall execution becomes ... Perhaps not the perfect score, but a nifty, noxious endeavor nonetheless. Go to Full Review Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture Jan 27
I found myself charmed and fully invested in it. The film’s poppy vibrancy, its mood of absurdist anguish, its sheer velocity won me over. Go to Full Review Daniel Howat Next Best Picture 1d
3/10
The film’s observations about the art world and critics are shallow and obvious, never deepening into anything richer. Go to Full Review Matt Oakes Silver Screen Riot 3d
C-
It’s all in service of a very mild, unfunny critique: that the art world is phony, if not outright felonious. Go to Full Review Courtney Howard Fresh Fiction 3d

Ridiculously ruthless, audaciously astute and outrageously funny, Yan's salient, sun-bleached heist comedy is a bold, innovative spin on genre-blending filmmaking. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
