I liked it, though it took me a little while to realise. I didn't know what I was watching at first, and so found the opening 20 minutes annoying. Good film though, and I disagree with the idea that it was too unsubtle. I don't think it's a film that would have benefitted from subtlety at all. Throwing it in our faces seemed to be the whole point. Also the first film I've ever liked Jennifer Lawrence in.
Are you me. Especially the Jennifer Lawrence thing.
I don't get the 'it wasn't funny' reviews from professionals. Those 'weird' joke timings were cut/edited in ways that strongly hint at 'feck laughing, we're way past stopping to laugh, there is nothing funny about this situation'. It really seems they meant for it to mostly feel like a despondent activist chucking a pile of redundant pamphlets at you one by one for two hours of mutual exasperating frustration and mirthless laughter.
