TPM Reader B saw Four Lions at Sundance and tells us what he thought …
Saw it at Sundance. Brutally funny. Great comic actors – completely slapstick.
Found myself smacking my head for laughing at what could be seen as very serious subject matter – people explode and the crowd erupts. I actually thought it was handled incredibly deftly – I cared for these guys.
Also provides a rarely-seen glimpse at British Muslim society and pokes fun at extremists in uproarious ways. Really surprised more hasn’t been made of it.
I really hope it gets at least an art-house release stateside.
