**Strongly reviewed on Letterboxd** where perhaps this comment from there is most prescient 'This is a wild movie and often challenging to follow'. For me I was so underwhelmed by it looking like (and with the pictorial attributes and values of) a Christmes pantomine shot outdoors, that it was unwatchable and I quickly gave up.
