Really charming. The use of the gorilla suit prompts some good deadpan and physical comedy. Pretty formulaic story but nevertheless nuanced, insightful, and multilayered. It gets by on its good nature and maybe more than anything on looking like it was fun to make. (DIY's not dead!)

I would say it's what it does to the vine series like what Rick Alverson's Entertainment did to Neil Hamburger, but it's a sweet poignant expansion of the universe of Sylvio and the vines whereas Entertainment is a bleak and dreary origin story, or followup, depending on your disposition
