This is a very, very smug movie. It's enjoyable at times but also seems like it's going for the frenetic editing of a Michael Moore documentary while also attempting to provide a narrative arc. So it's got some metatextual stuff going on that's interesting. And it looks good, it's got an impressive cast and some good cameos. But at the same time... it's easy to for Hollywood to come in and be really self-righteous with the benefit of hindsight. It reminds me of The Newsroom in that respect. I'm not sure how much I enjoy or am supposed to enjoy a movie that tells us about how stupid we are and how broken our system is, how terribly we are being lied to and cheated. I don't know.
