    A complete and edifying pleasure to witness the encyclopedia of emotion that flows relentlessly from Greta Gerwig's face.

    Her navigation of social space is beyond ungainly, and yet bespeaks some kind of genius that is under siege by normal life everywhere you look.

    Masterful and deranged. Improvisational theater at its most ecstatic. Like Jodorowsky projected through the mind of a hyperactive seven year old with little more than cardboard and crayons to use for props. Absurdly obscene theatrics combine with very, very catchy songs, producing stupidly astonishing, at times astonishingly stupid, results. And somehow there are also some marvelous characters.
