A brilliant comedy bringing together all sorts of people with often depressing stories to culminate in an ultimately uplifting film

Intriguing concept, some nice twists turns and dark humor but had more potential than it delivered

Screenplay has unique contents but, something is missing in the movie. Against all odds, worth watching.

Premise is great. But besides few good jokes and charming main characters it doesn't offer much, unfortunately.

Pleasant and original. Not one of my favorites but worth watching.

Very funny & sweet movie. A refreshing interpretation of God: a dirty old man doing his best to annoy humans. Until his daughter has enough

By the same director of Mr.Nobody, this is a must for everyone who loves black humour and ethical movies.

I expected a lot more, it felt short but at least is bold and original.

It was a good idea and the male lead usually delivers strong performances. But in this case it does not work, boring & slow
