Weird Caucasians
Superior and, ultimately, affectionate satire on Morris Dancing that overwhelms with its po-faced brilliance.
The quality of the cast is outstanding and helps the believability necessary to both take all this nonsense seriously while, simultaneously, laughing your socks off.
The movie’s only failing is that it does not fully explore - comically - the cultural emptiness and superficiality that would keep Whites Morris Dancing after the agricultural roots, meaning & purpose of such dance have long exhausted.
