9/10
Amazing bit of bleak work

I've only watched half of this cool title, but if you don't like awkward non-liveliness, this is not the one for you.

What I think Leigh is getting at is the brokenness in us all, but amping it up for all of us to see ourselves as we are in our least-energized most-unwell moments. It little matters that we all have these bleak spaces in our psyche, for that is where we all start when born helpless lurchpieces, and then often develop into cramped clenched little spaces ... unless we kick free of what holds us back ... and even then, for we are no great shakes in the grander non-human expanses of this cosmos.

Hugely humourus in a swarmy way is the material Leigh gives us, and so well acted as to be worthy of all the honour we fallen little creatures can muster up for it.
