It's a good film, and like anything Garland makes, there will always be polarized opinions, and that tells you there is something "buzzing" in his films.
This seemed to put him back into a "smaller scale" of a film. How could that be when it's a film about a secessionistic series of events and a "third term?", when that was uttered it sent a chill down my spine, as it's just a way to show you the Constitution is no longer in play.
By smaller scale I saw that it seemed to rely on "smaller" backdrops and sets. The film didn't have room to breathe, or the characters much room to develop. Doesn't make it a bad film, just feels a missed opportunity. I came away with mixed feelings when the credits rolled.
As a Alan Vega fanboy, as well as the works of Barrow and Salisbury---Garland's choice of soundtrack/score work never ceases to be the best choice for his work of late. I believe he's used them since Ex Machina/Devs. Hearing The older Suicide tracks made my ears perk up.
Good film. Just the run time restricts the relevance of the film.
6.5/10.
