Alisha_BowenSeptember 11, 2024Even without the political metaphors, it’s still a well-paced and cleverly designed film. However, its heavy-handed symbolism disrupts the flow, abandoning key plot points and opting for an open-ended conclusion that feels more like a narrative shortcut than a genuine plot twist.

User-1116893209September 11, 2024I initially wanted to rate it an 8 due to the graphic violence, but I couldn’t ignore its raw and precise critique of social hierarchy and human nature. It’s rare to find a film that provokes such diverse interpretations and deep reflections,. It deserves a 10.

Lautaro LOctober 9, 2021Certainly original, but lacks impact
This movie cannot be categorized as good or bad. I think that for people who haven't seen films based on metaphors and allegories that attempt to criticize socio-economical and political models, it will be quite a ride. For others, as is my case, it's just another movie trying to give a half-assed message without a strong resolution.

This film explores the drama, terror and science fiction genres to address issues of current relevance such as our society’s organization, justice and the distribution of resources through both deeply philosophical dialogues and shockingly raw scenes.

Bella_SellersSeptember 16, 2024Aun sin las metáforas políticas, sigue siendo una película diseñada ingeniosamente con un gran ritmo. Sin embargo, su torpe simbolismo altera el flujo al abandonar puntos importantes y presentar un final abierto que se siente más como un atajo narrativo que un giro genuino.

Bailey_LiSeptember 16, 2024Al principio, quería darle un 8 debido a la violencia gráfica, pero no pude pasar por alto su cruda y precisa crítica de la jerarquía social y la naturaleza humana. Es raro encontrar una película que provoque estas interpretaciones diversas y reflexiones profundas. Merece un 10.

Amy_FletcherSeptember 16, 2024Mesmo sem as metáforas políticas, ainda é um filme bem elaborado e inteligente. No entanto, seu simbolismo pesado interrompe o fluxo, abandonando pontos importantes da trama e optando por uma conclusão aberta que parece mais um atalho narrativo do que uma reviravolta genuína na trama.
