Critics Love it cause its Anti-Trump


good thing Rian Johnson is subtle with his political undertones, no one wants to see a movie while forcing political agendas down your throat

there is definitely a bit of class warfare woven into this film, but i didn't find it particularly heavy-handed.

and i personally thought it was an absolutely blast. funny, clever, & just the right amount of twistiness. great fun.

I didn't get any anti-Trump vibe at all from the movie. Families squabble about politics all the time; just made this bunch look petty.

I thought it poked fun at both sides.

I miss Siskel and Ebert, no matter their political affiliation they would be quick to tell you if they thought a movie was shit.

I thought an equal number of family members were obnoxiously pro-Trump as well as obnoxiously anti-Trump. They were all awful people.

Everything is Anti-Trump. You can either put up with it, or stop watching movies forever.
