Jesse Armstrong's new film critiques the tech-bro culture, showcasing the arrogance of wealthy entrepreneurs through a dark lens. Set predominantly in a mountain house, the film features four main characters, including a sociopathic tech CEO resembling Mark Zuckerberg. The absurdities of their conversations reveal a world detached from morality. Despite its unsettling tone, the film provides moments of humor while exploring the dangers of privilege and self-importance in today's society. The characters' self-anointed wisdom echoes broader societal critiques of tech culture and its impact on values, offering a commentary on modern life dynamics.
the film brings with it some of the love-to-hate-them energy of...though with less time for an audience to find anything to be endeared by or relate to in these four tech capitalists.
This was apparently pitched and all pulled together...with a location shoot in a modern mountaintop manse near Park City, Utah, in the last six months.
There are a handful of hearty laughs skewering the sheer arrogance and absurdity of these self-anointed masters of the universe.
Cory Michael Smith, who recently had a star turn on playing an arrogant and self-satisfied young Chevy Chase, is well cast as the energetic, seemingly sociopathic Venis.
