I'm torn on how to rate this. The acting was good, the cinematography was pretty amazing, and I was captivated by the plot, but I just really didn't like the story.

Most of the characters seem like terrible people. At first they were fine, dude was taking a job. All good, he helped his sister get a job by lying. Eh, fine whatever. Then getting other people fired to take their jobs... and then it all ends in murder? I'm not confused by the plot, but rather confused about why people love this so much. Granted, it's probably just not my thing. I tend to not like movies where most of the characters are terrible people and there's basically no redeeming qualities. Classics that people love, "Gone with The Wind" and "Grease", are two movies I hate. This movie did nothing for me, other than leaving me confused on it's point. If you loved it, that's fine. I'm not trying to hate on this movie, or people who like it, I just don't get the hype.

After watching a video explaining the themes a bit more, I decided to add two more stars to my rating. I understand the themes and why they are important, but this movie isn't for me.
