CGiii Comment
Those who get it will love it - those who don't...well, they are the bigots that Cohen wants to horrify.
There are some unnecessary scenes that should have been left on the editing room floor...but, all in all, it's a fantastically sustained attack on the absurdity of normality, decency and the WASP.
Cringingly funny in places and unpleasantly memorable.
