Trivia
Charles Dance was specifically told to use his natural English accent even though he plays the US president in the film. The directors (in Q&A) say this was a very definite decision from early on though the actor can speak with a perfectly good American accent if required. Various reasons were given, but the gist was that they wanted to subvert the audiences' expectations about each character.

Geopolitics, from whimsical to bizarre, its barely even a satire?

I for one quite enjoyed it. Did not understand it completely, honestly could not pick out all of the symbolism, allegory etc, but it was interesting and fun to try. There are no laugh out loud moments, but smirks aplenty as connections and parallels are suggested and at times blatantly stated.

The cast, the script, the dialogue were convincing and never overplayed, these were serious politicians acting like real people in a surreal situation. The choice of subdued lighting in red tones, and a off kilter soundtrack kept everything suitably unreal. Direction and editing could not be faulted.

Would/could a film like this be made in an authoritarian country? Undoubtedly not.

Its a fun film that can be taken seriously.
