Melancholy-glot

What is this overlong film trying to be? Dystopian scifi? Black comedy? Wacky crime yarn (the double-crossing partner and escaping-an-angry-mobster cliches)? Twisted romance? Satire of a certain type of populist politician/religious leader and their moronic followers? Colonisation/first-contact scifi? Statement on the plight - and expendability - of "ordinary" workers? Plea for us to truly value every individual (and their potential to achieve great things against the odds)? I dunno whether to criticise "Mickey 17" for trying to be too many things at once or praise it for almost managing the feat. It even kinda-sorta includes a musical number.

Bland on its own (low carb-ers generally are), decent accompanying food as it doesn't interfere with the flavours. AND gives me an excuse to post a link to this gorgeous track about a different Travla -
