It's a "lyrical comedy" film (which means it's not funny, but you are not supposed to cry over the misfortunes either) with a dramatic story. To put it simply it's a "slice of scam" movie.

It's a bit weird in looking "more" than its subject matter, but it's not pretentious. All the film-students-never-film-workers and the so-called "movie" "critics" tried their hardest to make you think this is some indie art-house mumblecore drama about gay-cowboys eating pudding, and oscars are always a "black spot" for the movies, but in the end this is an alright watch. And it will leave you with nothing, just like all the average films.
