I think Jason Mann is a rare talent. Delicacy is incredible and it was incredibly brave of him to push to make his own script with the opportunity he was given on PGL. Seeing how that all manifested in the face of all sorts of reality show drama and HBO restrictions is utterly fascinating. But even without being able to see behind the curtain of how this movie was made, there's a lot to love and respect in this film. The use of the location is inventive and the skewering of the wealthy family, especially with Tom Bell at the center, is a delight to watch. What a maniacal gem! I'm excited to see what Mann does next and hopefully, on his own terms.
