Better story than all of the "YRF Spy Universe" movies combined. If only they didn't have "sex before marriage" stuff in there, it would be much better.

40 years ago a garbage idea such as this wouldn't have received more than 500 dollars funding. But now it gets 13 Oscar nominations. Mind you I haven't followed the Oscars for over 20 years, I decided to permanently boycott that ridiculous Marxist circus after the infamous black awards show in 2002. Unlike most very naive filmgoers who are so easily lead by hype and who have zero understanding of Hollywood and media, I had never taken that institution seriously, not even when I was a teenager, so the fact that this movie did so well with the 5,000 Marxist voters doesn't annoy or surprise me, I am merely stating it as a fact to support my conclusions...

A murderous drug dealer becomes a woman, and in doing so becomes a do-gooder! Yes, that is the premise. It is so incredibly stupid that you need to read it five times in order to believe it.

With all this Marxist nonsense, it is hilarious how the film managed to piss of numerous Mexicans, whose opinions leftists are concerned with... Leftists love it when the Right has a go at them, but they hate it when the attacks come from unexpected places...

This is one of the many Plan 9s of this completely stupid era...

Not one white male actor in the entire film...

Climate change bullshit...

Dubious morality...

Disney promoting evil as good, to children...

Christian fanatics aren't necessarily nuts when they point out to liberals undermining some basic and obvious moral tenets, and aiming that ambiguous trash right at young kids...

Liberal indoctrination isn't just about DEI, gays and climate change, it encompasses a wide palette of cultural, social and political propaganda, because Marxism isn't just about 1-2 things, as some reviewers here seem to believe...

It's Bertollucci, that decadent old pee-doh commie...

1968, free love, the usual trash...

Extremely Marxist, whites evil, other races noble, women uber-noble...

I'd always known that Peter Jackson is a clown, but not this daft and decadent...

The all-leftist cast is no coincidence, this is very much political...

Any film that so shamelessly promotes the joke that we call "rap" is leftist by definition.

This dumb plot could only work as a comedy...

Feminist crap. Scott made 3-4 great films and numerous duds such as this...

Only someone totally inept such as Baz Luhrmann would slap a rap soundtrack on a 20s setting. Literally nobody else would do this, because it's so profoundly stupid. Is it pandering to rap fans among the millennials and zoomers, or is it pandering to the decadent black culture of the present? It could be both.

Who has been pandering to rap music since its very inception? Liberals, always. They love its decadence, non-musicality, while willfully ignoring the violence and sexism which they are allegedly totally against. Rap music was always pushed by the left, because it is the ideal soundtrack to the end of Western civilization, and a great way to virtue-signal because you're allegedly helping a "poor community" by allegedly allowing its talent to prosper. If white males had started a music which was all about boasting, machismo, crime and hoes - liberals would have thrown it deep into the underground. Placing rap music on top of a classic novel set 100 years ago is a totally leftist thing. Marxist propaganda works in various ways, it isn't just DEI and girl-bossing - as some reviewers here believe. There are at least 30 different ways in which leftism can contaminate a movie, not just two or three.

Obviously the novel itself has somewhat of a left-wing slant, because why else would Hollywood do it several times, but Luhrmann made it even more liberal.

Horrendous cast, obviously, because that is another staple of this director.

Very left-wing just like the series...

Communist fantasy, with a premise written by an amoeba...
