I love dark comedies: Fargo, Dr. Strangelove..., Life of Brain, etc. but this film is not a dark comedy. It is just incredibly disturbing. There's no comedy, just darkness. Dark comedies have quirks to them and rules that make them such. People suffering is not comical. Deadpan absurdly used while implicit violence is happening is not genius. The shock value is not brilliant. It is a nulling and lacks imagination. I am even more annoyed that this won critics over. I HATED this film.
