I liked the campy ending of this movie. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you. The middle sags a bit, as the family plays board games and watch old movies. And it feels like "same old same old" as the kids return to the theme that dad is an ax murderer. But the ending is a hoot.

While Rotten Tomatoes gives it thumbs down, several quite respectable venues are thumbs up, including NY Times, WaPo, the Guardian, the Evening Standard, FT, and New Yorker. I enjoyed it, and might never have watched it if I'd seen the rotten tomatoes score. And I didn't find the plot that convoluted - there was a lot of background on the main characters, which went off into different places, each having their own thread. I liked the theme of how we forget our history. I didn't mind the democracy preaching, and even appreciated it.
