'The Oracle's Heist' trips over its ambitions like a medieval court jester on a quest for existential validation, yet, it somehow manages to tickle the intellect with a feather quill dipped in modern dystopian ink. As the mastermind 'The Velvet Hand,' Barbara Blush steals scenes with the sleight of hand of a true artist, while Orson Wheels-of-Cheese’s moniker alone provides enough of a chuckle to forgive his character's occasional narrative stumbles. Meanwhile, Laura La Plantain, as 'The Oracle', delivers her dialogue with an enigma wrapped in a riddle, shrouded in proverbs. Ingmar Birdman takes us on a directorial dance, pirouetting between genres with the grace of a drunken bard at a Renaissance fair. The film delivers a comedic loot bag filled with gags and jests, though sometimes it feels like the punchline is written in a forgotten dialect of Latin. Esoteric as it may be, the film dares to pickpocket your sense of humor while pondering life's grand tapestry, proving that laughter can indeed coexist with the philosophy of predestination. It’s a rib-tickling caper that doesn’t always hit the bullseye but delivers enough arrows of amusement to keep the target audience sufficiently entertained.
