    Sadly Amazingly a story of our "right now" times
    We all know that we live in times that change exceptionally quickly -since the release of this movie till today things have changed -but Astonishingly the overall concept of this movie is very much with us today obviously the first thing we have is the bloodletting everywhere and put all of the woman in this movie (and they of course take up the majority of situations) that have come out of our times whether it's the meta-verse the woke culture The loneliness that is periodically interrupted by the use of smart phones & one finds that underlying all of this is the rage and anger.

    I was first astounded at the poor reviews of the movie but under the circumstances and with the way we communicate today over social media above all if it is not quick fast exciting A la the marvel movies etc. Or if the political situation is not spelled out exactly and one has to ponder it a bit that could make it "boring" in my mind unfortunate but so it is I think it's an incredible movie and does involve a lot of thought and analysis and it really impressed me.
