Movie was excellent. I like the way it ended, but I agree that it felt like they were setting something up that didn't pay off. It felt like they misdirected the audience then forgot to close the loop on showing why. I totally get why it's better that God wasn't transferred, but it felt like there was a missing scene where Bella gave him the choice to decline and he did. The way it was cut made that more of a reveal, but I just wanted it to be more explicit. As it stands, it feels like they valued the gag of him being a goat over actual closure. I thought Ruffalo was terrific. Definitely an unusual choice for this kind of role, but it made the character far more interesting to me than a mire traditional casting would have. Jerrod Carmichael, on the other hand, felt miscast. I get how more stiff performance would suit a cynic, but he was completely wooden, it felt like he was reading lines off a page.

The film very much understands that. It's kinda the entire point.

The fact that she takes an interest in socialism matters less than the fact that she was able to pursue any interest with autonomy and without the permission of a man. That she's also able to apply it to make working conditions better to help raise up her fellow women workers is a bonus, showing that when she is out from under the thumb of a domineering male she is able to thrive and pay it forward. That socialism is also thematically relevant to breaking the bonds of systemic oppression is the cherry on top. We don't need to see her write a manifesto for it to be relevant to her journey.
