The reviewer maybe just didn’t understand a lot of it. Seems to have missed the similarities between Randall and Peter Thiel, for instance. If you’re not steeped in “the scene” the film probably isn’t as funny.

It's a new genre - the depressing satire.

If you need a laugh after watching Mountainhead just go to The Onion archives

> Jesse Armstrong’s rushed Succession follow-up might be heavy on of-the-moment buzzwords, but it’s too smug to make any real point

This is unfortunately spot-on.
