The King of Lower Mitcham is a curious blend of comedy and crime that really plays with the absurdity of a world where chocolate is outlawed. The film's tone is light yet carries an undercurrent of tension, especially as Bruno Fumo, portrayed with an exaggerated flair by the lead, navigates his turf against the ambitious Josh Butterfingers. The pacing has a nice rhythm, allowing for both comedic moments and the darker implications of its premise. Practical effects add a quirky charm to the candy-related chaos, which stands out in a sea of CGI-heavy films. There’s a banter-filled camaraderie between Bruno and his sidekick, Bill, that gives the film a playful vibe, while also touching on themes of loyalty and rivalry in an unconventional setting.
