As an independent, I don't take political sides but I do keep an eye out for hypocrisy and while I do think it's an excellent film, if it was painting the same bad guys it always does politically that was lazy and keeps me from giving it a ten but I digress. The film is incredible, centered around a family and a woman who taught a radical student who now is her son's girlfriend. She worries for him and rightly so. I still think it's dramatic when people say this is what we are headed to and in fact part of my taking points away is exactly that-what ARE we headed to? It's never quite explained in the movie the actual beliefs that are so radical. One can guess based on dialogue, how they dress, etc but you can't be too sure and that will leave you frustrated at the end of the film, but not in the way like you just wasted two hours of your life cause you didn't. There's ambiguity even in the final shot of the film-was this the plan all along? Wait, what is the plan? You will be walking out of the theater in very good frustration.
