Disastrous, dangerous, and stupid. Nevermind the shambolic writing, wooden acting and the dollar store budget design, it fundamentally runs so much deeper with its problems surrounding the narrative. It swirls around trying to sow distrust in everything from school teachers to government in the name of freedom of speech.
My favourite part is probably the worship of Elon Musk, who personally takes an interest in the reporter who is BRAVE enough to spread "the truth". It's also peppered with segments from Fox News which tells stories that aren't actually true but presents them under the guise that they are by putting legitimate branding on fiction.
The creators seem to be trying to muddle fact and fiction as this is a heavily right leaning propaganda piece that attempts to masquerade as being based on true events - in a way this is true, as it's hugely based on the delusions of the right wing narrative surrounding mistrust from the American government, the secret service, and the education system. It's so heavy handed.
It's very fixated on Joe Biden's son too. Most scenes mention it. It also can't stop mentioning how Trump was unfairly banned on Twitter. What a time to be alive!
It's ironic that the film is about brainwashing and propaganda, considering one of the main narratives includes a young girl who robotically delivers lines similar to 'Can we get a mean dog to scare Liberals'.

Finally, a film that isn't afraid to tell the truth! While the usual crowd will cry about "propaganda," this movie delivers a much-needed reality check on the corrupt institutions that have failed the people for far too long.
The writing? Sharp. The acting? Raw and effective. The budget? Who cares? This isn't about flashy effects-it's about delivering a message that the mainstream would rather you ignore. The story cuts deep, exposing the lies we're force-fed by those who want to control the narrative. And that's precisely why critics are so desperate to discredit it.
Best of all, it doesn't shy away from calling out the real problems: the erosion of free speech, the unchecked power of intelligence agencies, and the blatant bias in the media. The fact that it has Fox News clips woven in just proves its commitment to showing what the establishment refuses to air.
Elon Musk's role? Entirely fitting. He represents what terrifies the system-someone who can't be bought, someone with the power to challenge the censors. If that makes you uncomfortable, maybe it's because you're used to seeing billionaires bow to the establishment, not stand against it.
And yes, it dares to bring up Joe Biden's son-because guess what? That's a real scandal, no matter how much the media tries to bury it. As for Trump's Twitter ban, that was one of the most outrageous acts of political censorship in modern history. If the film brings it up, it's because it matters.
As for the so-called "brainwashing," it's rich to hear that from people who champion films that push establishment-approved narratives. The fact that this movie even exists in a world where dissenting voices are constantly shut down is a miracle. If the best argument against it is that it "sows distrust" in government and institutions-good. Maybe people should start questioning the people who have lied to them for years.
A must-watch for anyone tired of being spoon-fed the same old narratives.
