Steve Carell, Jason Schwartzman, Ramy Youssef and Cory Michael Smith play super-rich tech bros who gather at the titular home to hang. While they watch the world disintegrate in a major economic crisis (due to their own AI software), they plan ways to make their power even greater. Actually, almost all they do is banter with continuous jargon that’s sometimes confusing. Luckily, the actors are all fully invested in their characters, embracing the arrogant assholes that they are. Writer/director Jesse Armstrong is famous for creating “Succession” and his fascination with the elite takes an even more disgusting tone here. While the energy of the actors and Armstrong’s direction keeps it moving briskly, the dialogue gets tiresome and ultimately these megalomaniacs are more contemptable than sympathetic.
