Surprisingly good take for the Guardian.

I could be wrong, but I don't recall hearing the words Marx or Marxism uttered even once in the film. The Queen's Gambit had more mentions of Marxism-Leninism.

      Yeah :this: . I knew Fred was a communist so I sort of inserted that knowledge that into every scene, but it could be read differently and I think that was intentional.

      Studios feel safe making movies about ACAB now, but Marx and Lenin are still too spicy.
