Hermes: As patron of thieves, I couldn't help but laugh watching these bumblers in action. Thumbs up.
Hestia: Dear me! The language is atrocious, and the characters are all obsessed with sex. I feel dirty having watched it. Thumbs down.
Dionysos: Yes, well, it is a black comedy after all. For those with a taste for the twisted, this is a real treat. With an all-star cast, the acting is superb. I'd point out Pitt's on-point idiocy, but then I'd also have to mention McDormand's hypertension, Swinton's frigidity, and Clooney's inexhaustible womanizing energy. The whole cast is at the top of their game in this one. Thumbs up.Two thumbs up, one thumb down
