Disturbing and well done, but lacks some explanations.

Because so little explanation was offered, the movie leaves you with an impression that it was all about the cruelty show. Or, the creators thought the explanation and conclusions will be obvious - they are not. Pity, cause it feels like a lost, flattened out potential because of a lack of an ending that would offer some answers, even if requiring further reflection.The last sequence is completely confusing and suddenly the movie ends. I feel this could be (was supposed to be?) a cautionary tale about what happens when anarchy prevails and the exchange of "elites" which always quickly get corrupted - but it was not pointed enough in the movie.

So it can be only worse is the moral of the story?

The film is shown pretty much through the eyes of a young woman from a rich family. There is not much explanation of the situation in a country, you just see one after another events happening to the main character and build your own story out of it. The problem with this film is, you have a rich family which sort of doesn't care about anyone except the main character and you have the poor which are pretty much shown as mindless monkeys with weapons. Then there is the third side the military puppetmasters which are actually taking over the power forming a new dictatorship. So from the perspective of the creator of this film, there is just a constant struggle of who will be in power at the top and nothing can be changed about it, we are just supposed to comply or our corporate overlords will make it all even more dystopian. When in fact what is wrong with current society is that you have giant corporations and the rich totally avoiding taxes, governments maintaining inflation, so that the poor always stay poor. So when you get a film like this it's more like a message to the poor, just keep working for nothing or it will be even worse, which makes it a depressive film is it offers no ideas on the solution, it just shows a mindless wheel we are all running in...
