A Perfect Day (I) (2015)
7/10
This isn't really a movie you can watch over and over, but it is worth your time, and the ending makes everything worth it.

"Everything is under control, you know me. There's nothing crazy about it." Mambrú (Del Toro) and B (Robbins) are aid workers in a war torn country that are tasked with helping the locals. When a fellow worker tells them that there is a problem with the water the check it out. When they discover a dead body in the well the ask for permission to remove it, and are denied. Not willing to accept that as an answer the crew decide to defy the UN and the local laws and do what they feel is best. This is a very dark comedy. There are parts where I laughed but felt bad for laughing. This is a very smart comedy and really makes you wonder if this is what the reality is like in these areas. You would think that taking a dead body out of the water supply would be a thing everyone can agree on, but the obstacles that stand in their way is insane and almost infuriating. This isn't really a movie you can watch over and over, but it is one that is definitely worth your time, and the ending makes everything worth it. Overall, a movie I did enjoy and one of the rare comedies that makes you think. I recommend this to watch as least once. I give this a B+.
