This edgy but low-key relationship story balances the drama with some quirks that are sometimes funny and sometimes stray into the downright weird. Diorama shows the disintegration of a marriage over time through a series of scenes interrupted by actors in odd costumes, mostly of animals, exploring the science of human relationships and sexuality. There's humor in these scientific segments, but it's very understated and wry, and the abrupt transitions between the two elements sometimes take a bit of adjusting.

Teen appeal is mostly limited to edgy stuff like sex, drinking, and drugs. There aren't any teen characters, and the main story is about dealing with the problems and drudgery of everyday life. But mature teens who can handle the grown-up content may enjoy speculating about their own futures and asking some of the big questions about human nature and relationships.
