A razor sharp comedic script and a fresh creative premise make this an extremely entertaining film. I'm not really a fan of Seann Walsh but his portrayal of a manipulative arsehole is spot on, and in fact all the acting in this displays great deadpan comedic skills. The film looks fantastic- director Foster has camera angles to spare, and cleverly uses monochrome vs colour to distinguish between the "real" world and the Bystanders alternative dimension view of it. On top of that there's a sprinkling of cartoonish special effects, some great sight gags (the CV of someone who's never had a job, the Bystanders' uniform descriptions) and a spookily atmospheric soundtrack. Absolutely loved it and looking forward to what this new director does next.
