• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

Excellent! Social criticism at its best. Took off 0.5 stars because the language and scenes are quite crude and violent at times, and I'm getting increasingly sensitive to that.
