Overview
- Collider and FandomWire published early reviews on October 27 ahead of the film’s U.S. theatrical release on October 29.
- The story follows a family upended when a son’s partner publishes The Change, a book whose movement reshapes national politics.
- Reviewers say the film never clarifies what The Change actually entails, leaving motivations for its architect opaque and the worldbuilding thin.
- Critics highlight symbols of an authoritarian turn such as an altered flag, censorship, rationed Wi‑Fi, electricity issues, and references to a no‑party system.
- Diane Lane and Kyle Chandler earn strong notices, while supporting players — including Zoey Deutch — are described as underused in Jan Komasa and Lori Rosene‑Gambino’s topical drama.
