I like when he writes... "It was excruciating to watch this moronic revelation of how far American culture had fallen. If the Soviets had held on for another four years, mandatory viewings of this film would have driven their citizens straight into the arms of Stalinism while demanding that executions accelerate. In the final calculus, characters in this film do not overcome their deficits, only come to accept them and beat down their personalities so that they can become useful tax cows for a dying regime, all while viewing nothing larger than their own personal drama. It should be reclassified as a horror film."
