I think it is....

...full of high class characters and performances. And, just brilliant in continuity, a rare thing these days. Worth repeated viewings.
The same director made Adrift, a softer-edged, more "conventional" - piece which is rich and enjoyable, as well. Of course, I make no comparison.
Back in the realm of absurdity, take a look a Pastorela, a Mexican offering. It's chaotic - at times even sloppy - and not as tightly written or controlled as Drained but is a highly produced and provocative romp atop culture, sex and religion. Filled with beautiful ugliness and sense-filled abandon. Must have been a monster to make.
I've recommended before and will again a Peruvian film called Madeinusa. A unique glimpse of obscure culture and flawed humanity.
Also, you should check out a couple from Chilean director Pablo Larrain, Tony Manero and Post Mortem. Both are devastating in illustrating societal breakdown during the Pinochet days. The lead in both films is one of the most charismatic and unlikely antiheroes you've likely seen, Alfredo Castro. Great stuff, truly.
The third in the intended trilogy by Larrain - No - is imminent in release.
And lastly, try Snow On The Bluff. All is not yet lost in America with such films and such entrepreneurial characters.
I rarely read reviews anymore.
Peace,
