  Great concept, fun to see R Pat be weird, love the creatures. 

  But this was too long/baggy in places, didn’t really get into Mickey’s backstory/character (besides the failed macaroons investment), didn’t really explore the psychology of what happens to someone who keeps dying and getting reprinted (or explain why there were personality differences), and felt only skin-deep as a satire. We get it. Mark Ruffalo is channeling Trump. And…? 

  Still glad it got made.
