Completely disagree with the analysis. He misses the whole point of the film which is really about mental illness and the Reaganeske cutting public services for the mentally ill. Is is about the decay and failure of the capitalist system and the alienation that ensues from this. It is about an anti-rich insurrectionary mood among the masses who *rebel* against the treatment of working people. It is not even aimed at the "rich" since unlike some other films of this genre, try to portray them as sympathetic victims of mob mentality. This film is *totally sypathedic* to the mob mentality and via the Black character Zazie Beetz who lives in the same building as a single mom is totally with the violence against the system. Silverstein's review is a weak and quite pathetic projection of someone on the left who clearly didn't see the same film I did.
