If you see something suspicious, bomb it!

Saw it last night, loved it. I’m really glad I went in knowing as little as possible. Here’s a good article about the movie (big spoilers, obviously):

My whole theater laughed at that. A very well placed comedic moment that somehow both undercuts and increases the tension.

I think it's about race in that it makes some comparisons to the way minorites and animals are treated and exploited by Hollywood, but is ultimately focused on the latter. It's definitely a film where I walked out thinking "I would love to read an entire dissertation on this movie's themes".
