“Hidden within its creepy strata is a thorough – and often humorous – skewering of Washington politics and the manipulative, but fragile egos of beltway ideologues. The notion of brainwashing is a conceptual driver, and the film contains a biting and resonant message: the most resilient and dangerous form of mind control is invariably self-induced.”
