The headline sums it up pretty good: it all looks good and the formalistic breaking of the fourth wall feels fresh and original, but like Milli Vanilli, the film is a pretty shell with nothing inside. We never get close to the characters. There are some attempts to provide psychological motivation or emotional depht (like Fab trying to impress his stubbornly unimpressed mother over the phone or Robs search for his father), but it all feels perfunctory. And despite some good moments, in the end I still don't know why this story is supposed to be so wildly fascinating or why I should care for its protagonists.
