This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Be careful not to get lost in the sauce while watching this movie. A fairly straightforward plot exploring colonialism is somewhat spiced up with the aspect of an expendable person, a human guinea pig who is remade after each death.
I think the direct reference trump - with Mark Ruffalo playing a ‘charismatic’ dictator/failed politician with red hat donning supporters - was refreshing. It was good to see a callout framed so straightforward.
Probably would’ve liked it more if I had seen it as a kid and had some nostalgia attached to it. Watching it as an adult kinda just resulted in all the content I’ve seen about it on social media overhyping it
Quality if not simple commentary on the unending, self destructive, pursuit of beauty and rejection of aging
