Our take

After four films in Italy, director Paolo Sorrentino (The Great Beauty) heads to Dublin, Ireland—and later, New York City—for this, his droll English-language debut. Led by an engrossingly peculiar Sean Penn, and featuring a sublimely outré cameo appearance from Talking Heads’s David Byrne.
