Complex, dramatic story, lots of shouting and adult themes, tons of really excellent dialogue - believable, frequently hilarious or impressive in some way - goes a little off the rails at the end and could probably have been 15 minutes shorter, but overall a worthwhile and entertaining movie about power, wealth disparity, and childhood.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
