Review of Toni Erdmann (2016) by Squirrelgirl — 23 Feb 2017

If this is a comedy, I totally don't get it. Weirdo man-child of a father stalks his sourpuss workaholic daughter in a way that seemed completely creepy and disturbing. There's a mood and feel and look of reality, but a plot and characters that are completely unbelievable, making for a weird mix that felt neither like the touching relationship/redemption story it kinda sorta seemed to be, nor an absurdist surreal comedy.

Just didn't work for me, especially at close to 3 hours of waiting for it to make up its mind.
