Went in cold and came out completely won over.
First-day-first-show energy in the theatre made this twice as fun as it probably deserved to be. Whistles and claps through the entire second half, the crowd was fully locked in. Judging this purely on script terms would be unfair — this is a theatrical experience first. The interval block is one of the best I've seen this year, genuinely well staged. Second half loses some steam once the initial high wears off, but recovers for the climax. Music is serviceable, a couple of tracks will probably grow on me after a few more listens. For the FDFS crowd energy alone, this was worth being there for.
The second half is where this really finds its feet.

A crowd film in the best sense of the term.

The lead performance is doing an enormous amount of work here.
