Spending half a billion dollars on a movie that's supposed to have an empowerment message of eat the rich (white man) is the equivalent of billionaires riding private jets while claiming to be climate activists. Yes, the film is a silly "activism" allegory for dummies of how a black woman smashes the dumb exploitative billionaire's (tech bro) stuff, with an emphasis on art stuff - after all, it's all Eurocentric toxic masculinity dang anyway - did I mention that this simplistic morality play's ending cost half a billion dollars?

You could feed a third world country for that.

Political commentary was a cool undercurrent to a solid murder mystery in "Knives Out." This here is an embarrassment. Padded with celebrity cameos and over the top set design and costumes, it tries to capture a certain contemporary milieu but fails in its Hollywood myopia. It reminded me of how the dreadful movie "Hackers" tried to capture the hacking culture of the 90s. The murder mystery story here is just a meaningless wrapper to all these shallow metaphors. Don't bother.
