The Art Of Self Defense is set in a very peculiar world populated by eccentric characters. While that might turn some off, due to the vision of director Riley Stearns and his incredible production team, as well as a top-notch cast, the movie is as hilarious as it is unpredictable. It emerges as a strong early contender for best film of the year.

Fantastic review of a provocative film with terrific performances. I was captivated by the trailer and had to see it. Has a “Fight Club” vibe.
