It was enjoyable to watch, but the last 20-30 minutes became a bit silly and stupid, it lost its intelligence and subtlety, to say the least, and went into a purely stupid and disgusting scenario, completely unnecessary, especially when the message wasn’t exactly subtle and was evident throughout the film, right from the premise itself, actually, the point is that they could have ended on a much stronger note before the final change, as it didn’t add anything to what it was trying to say or show, not that that should discourage anyone from watching it, it’s a good film that will keep you interested from start to finish, but it should have been 20 minutes shorter.
