I had it 5th on my list of the movies nominated.

If you want reviews there is this site called rottentomatoes which gathers up professional reviews from around the country (and other countries) as well as thousands of amateur reviews and ranks the film.

This film got a 99% fresh rating which means reviewers had to give it a thumbs up of at least 3/5 stars. Audience (amateur reviewers) reviews were also very positive at 90%, These are extremely high reviews.

My issues with the film is that while I understand that it is a class warfare kind of film (rich and poor) I didn't hate the rich in this film enough and I didn't like the poor.

You need to sort of root for someone, But if the poor family was likeable then it would be called a SJW film which at least can't at all be said for this.

I may like it more in future viewings.

PS the violence in this film is comical absurdist. I'm the liberal on this forum - I am the one who is supposed to be the "Snowflake." Ahem.
