While it has some shortcomings, I really liked this movie, and LaKeith Stanfield might be one of my favorite actors of the last decade. The main theme gets muddled once the plot goes off the rails. Their metaphor is taken to such an extreme it wraps back around to being literal, which makes it really easy to miss what the actual quote-unquote ‘message’ is supposed to be. But, it’s really easy to forgive this because the clever writing and charismatic acting pulls it all together. (Also, they directly mock the metaphor becoming literal at one point.)
