About
You may like this if you want an uncomfortable, talky clash of values that leans more drama than comedy and leaves room for debate, similar to Brad's Status or The Good Girl; Not for you if you need clear resolutions and frequent laughs.
Pros: tense dinner-party setup; strong performances; timely class clash | Cons: slow and plodding; heavy-handed message; unsatisfying, confusing ending
