SPOILERS: I found the film to be excellent. The negative reviews are clearly coming from this who thought this was a film celebrating the rise of fascism rather than the defeat of it. I've also seen reviews outside of this forum saying that it was unrealistic that Texas and California would be allies. Oh really? So Japan and Germany had so much in common huh? They had one thing in common. Authoritarianism. Texas and California wanted their independence and clearly joined forces in the film to achieve it. I believe there is an element of society that the filmmakers believed they could reach. But, that element is too far gone to see how much of a cautionary tale the film is.
