Oh, my god. Oh, my God! While the acting was just GOOD, and the sets and props were just GOOD... the plot? The themes? Messages? Allegories? Clues? Story? Characters? Conclusion?

If this film wasn't so specifically relevant to THIS EXACT PERIOD IN HISTORY, it would have the potential to go down as a timeless classic. Virtually flawless, as far as I can tell. Possibly the most satisfying conclusion to a film I've EVER SEEN. I cannot express how well this was written. So, so, SO many moving parts. So gripping. So compelling. So terribly complicated and mind-boggling and clever. So many example's of Chekhov's gun being used. Better, even, than Knives Out. Like the titular onion, this is one of the most layered films imaginable. Most of all, a nonstop Good Time right through the film - with not only one of the best payoffs ever, but SEVERAL.

(If you don't know what Chekhov's Gun refers to, ask Google. Google can explain it better than me.)
