I don't care much for farce. Farce is a story where all the plot tension comes from a pretense. A quarter of the way into this, it's clear we're in the land of farce. Halfway in, we're bored and restless and merely waiting for the pretense to be caught out.

The cinematography is nice. The acting is competent. The struggle of class against class is forever relevant. But it's still farce.
