Our take

This sharp comedy set during the Bosnian conflict finds echoes of Robert Altman’s M.A.S.H. in its ironic yet humane take on wartime bureaucracy. With terrific turns from Benicio Del Toro and Tim Robbins, A Perfect Day is a shaggy-dog tale of hope and failure that needles the American heroic ideal.
