What a great piece of systemic propaganda! This is how it's done, people. A successful propaganda is never blatant, never shoved down your throat. You should add interpolated words/phrases among seemingly irrelevant dialogue or monologue. This movie ticks all the boxes.
Still, i'll be fair. Because i am a moviegoer not a propagandist. First of all, its running time is pure self- sabotage. There is not enough good material to support a 163 minutes movie. Director should learn a thing or two about the lost art of editing. "Lost" regarding to him of course, because every other director in the History of Cinema knows well that a movie should be well edited. I'll be honest though, it's less boring as it seems. It should have been at least 30 minutes shorter but overall, i liked it. As long as you know what to expect. This is an arthouse comedy drama. Not too dark to be called a dark comedy. The whole movie is technically a comment about sociopolitical issues. When it comes to criticizing capitalists, it was almost great. It's still propaganda obeying to the modern Elite's narration but still, there were many things here which i liked.
It's a clever movie as long as you are a patient viewer and you know what this is about. The leading actress was amazing. In general, there were good acting performances here. And pace was good for a 163 minutes movie.
In any case, lower your expectations : The only reason this has a 94/100 Metascore, it is because it's propaganda. I would have rated it higher if it wasn't. 7/10 is a more proper rating if you agree with everything Pro-Regime Media are brainwashing you night and day. But i don't, so i must remove 1 star. And that's because i am sparing. I should remove more stars.
6/10.
