There's not much to say that hasn't been said. The art is beyond incredible, worthy of being put on walls, the story is dark and feels weighted. They don't make movies like this any more.
I would liken this movie to Ridley Scott's Alien, in that it's so ahead of it's time it feels like something that came decades later.
Going in knowing the ending, you might not expect the film to take itself seriously. That would be an underestimation. Not only does it take itself seriously, but it contains the character and gravitas to to be gripping in it's developments.
10/10. A classic is a classic for a reason.
Even the main character comes off as abrasive, because you can't be a nice and identifiable character who also says "The holiday season can only be all about me and my beliefs and traditions".
It's propaganda, plain and simple.
