Our take

A welcome return to the genre for which he came to international attention, Dominik Moll (Harry, He’s Here to Help) puts co-stars François Damiens (Tip Top) and Vincent Macaigne (Non-Fiction) tête-à-tête for a slightly askew and absurd odd-couple comedy. A wonderfully surreal social satire.
