Quite the read. Not sure my mental health can handle the movie currently- but it is on the list when I am able to watch something other than British cozy fluff shows 🫣😂
2/3rds of the movie is relatively breezy, in the sense that you follow journalists/observers who largely remain detached from the conflict, and part of most people’s issue with the film is how emotionally inert it is. The final third definitely gets heavy, though, whatever you may think of the first bits.
Seriously the best take on this film I’ve seen. I didn’t know how to touch it. I really disliked it. Overly pretentious and much ado about nothing but that said there’s still stuff to glean I’m sure. Just spoon feed me please
This movie dropped during a time humanity probably needed it most but wanted it least. We want to explore root causes, best actions to take, best ways to dissect current conflicts, horrific tragedies, and threatened authoritarianism, terrorism, and insurrections, all of which we are wrestling with right here, right now. And here comes this asshole of a movie kind of shurgging off the details and coming across as "above it all". I don't think that's what it was trying to be, or do, but I 100% see how it can *easily* be taken as that. But the movie says more than I think it gets credit for, and its ability to not take a real world "side" in any extant conflict is a tightrope walk I think will be admired in the future, looking back, but perhaps can't be appreciated in the here and now. Time will tell.

It sounds really good from your post and then I looked it up also. I just am at the stage in my year of cozy, light… no drama 😂🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
