    The first half of the movie was great, but there’s a discernible moment where the movie begins to prioritize its political allegory over all else. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing (i.e. Triangle of Sadness) though in this case I found the political message to be a bit trite, and I find the most thought-provoking allegory to be subtextual, which this certainly was not.

    Whatever compelling ideas this movie might have had are almost completely lost in its execution. A failure to write characters that talk like real people is a fatal flaw in a romance film, especially one depicting such awkward subject matter.

    Just so compelling. Comprehensive, but not remotely at the expense of the human stories at play. What few liberties are taken with history are easily forgiven for the strength of the story this show tells.
