It may all be very well-intentioned and motivated by genuine sympathy for the short person community, but the sight of Oldman kneeling down behind various low objects or embedded in a sofa with fake short legs attached to it disastrously sabotages the film. That said, even if they'd opted for more height-appropriate casting, I suspect the contrived melodrama of the movie would still be difficult to take seriously. A deeply bizarre film, and perhaps deservedly obscure.
