Key Highlights

  • There’s an absurdity and abstraction to the whole affair that affords us a peek into the minds and egos of those who run the modern world, not to mention some tongue-in-cheek disdain nestled within surprising sympathy.
  • However, these flourishes don’t last, and the movie ends up petering out without all that much to say.
