If you twisted my arm, the refugee subplot with that guy’s boyfriend trying to get to safety wasn’t terrible in a couple of places.
Yes, but we ought to skip over the power dynamics in the beginning and the lack of agency of "the boyfriend" for large sways (their perspective is mostly shown through the eyes of the middle class brits".
I think my favourite bit is at the end where everything just pops back to normal
During that time I really liked when the dad got three years in prison "cause of the gun" - but he used that time to learn Spanish - and is now teaching English to little kids in fascist ("communist") Spain. How is that supposed to be a good arc or sympathetic? He was a "banker" darn and learning Spanish is enough to get a job in a country adjacent to or part of the imperialist core to teach?
