Astrid openly describes her past traumatic experiences with amusing innocence, while Gus deflects questions about his missing wife, hiding his loneliness. Goofy comments during suspenseful moments provide a few chuckles and Gus’ clueless, ageing dad Richard (a runaway standout Malcom McDowell) is introduced with a visual gag that cleverly blends comedy and ghosts. Among a few other surprises, Susie Wokoma (Chewing Gum) is charmingly chaotic as Elton’s sister Helen, a Doctor Who cosplay makeup YouTuber with agoraphobia.
