Richard J The whole movie centers around tech billionaires in the same space with hardly any other characters. Now, this can work in good movies. But, this satire fails to entertain and to develop meaningful characters (even ones we love to hate). As much as it tries to be funny, it simply just felt annoying. Each character did a great job of that. But is It enjoyable? Having the anudience care about the message being sent by the writers and actors? Not a chance. It’s weak at best. Guillotines and nooses are the more realistic route coming for each billionaire and that would have made a better story while maintaining a more engaged audience. Eat the rich. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/08/25 Full Review David M Four super-rich tech bros get together for a weekend away in a mountain retreat whilst the world goes to hell in handcart thanks to a social media company owned by one of the four releases a new hyper-realistic AI creation tool. It's from Jesse Armstrong, the creator of Succession, and he's on familiar ground here with this take-down of the super-rich. It's another entry in the eat the rich genre that probably needs a break now; not that the super-rich shouldn't be satirised, but the wave of content on this theme is in danger of distracting us from our own complicity in the world's problems. It's easy to look the other way when we keep saying the real problem is 'them over there'. Anyway, this has its moments; with a good writer and a good cast, it can't not. There are moments of insight, but there is too much tell and not enough - or hardly any - 'show'. Ultimately, it feels like a lot of people here are coasting; and with somewhat pedestrian direction, it never really takes off into the significant satirical piece it wants to be. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/07/25 Full Review Ted M wow this Hollywood is so biting in its critique of Si Valley douche bro culture...if only they didnt all want to be/flatter the exact same. This is so hated precisely because its so accurate. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/06/25 Full Review Eleanor M Incredible. It’s like a play! Brilliant performances and incredible writing. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/05/25 Full Review Dave M Well done, albeit slow at times. Probably needed to have a little bit more around the sudden drastic decisions but well acted and full of the bro lingo and acceleration beliefs. If you have lived in Silicon Valley you know the characters Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/05/25 Full Review Austin G. i can see the direction that the film was going for. almost documentary-style, satirical look into the intoxicating world of the tech bros. however the film itself was dull, unfunny, and not at all insightful. i watched an hour and a half of just talking between four to three individuals, and no it wasn't worth the endeavor.
