New Order / Nuevo Orden (2020, D: Franco)
Conceived six years ago, Michel Franco's near-future dystopia feels ripped from headlines that haven't yet been written. While protests rage in the streets, Marianne's high society family prepares for her wedding. At first, only splatters of green paint and the appearance of Rolando, a former employee seeking emergency medical funds, intrude on the festivities. But soon the party is unable to keep the reckoning at bay, and what follows is a swift disintegration of law and order defined first by class lines, then by disastrous government recapitulation.
I rented this last night. Though kinda brutal, I enjoyed it, as I tend to dig "collapse of society" movies. Anyway, I'm pretty much making this post because the very end had me scratching my head and I'm curious as to what y'all think:
Spoiler:
Admittedly, I have not yet done an online deep dive to see what the director or critics have specifically said regarding the ending. Anyone else see this film? Overall thoughts? (And before anyone gets disappointed, New Order doesn't have a single song on the soundtrack.)

According to JustWatch it's only on AppleTV. So, no, I can't check it out.

It should make its way to Hulu soon.

That's weird. I just searched for it on the app and it shows you can buy/rent it on pretty much all platforms. Last night I rented it via YouTube. (I have tons of Google Play credits.) I don't believe it is included to stream "free" from any of the paid services, though.

JW needs to get their algorithm fixed.
edit: Nope, they just need to display this shit better. There's a "Watch Now" listing that comes up above everything else. That only shows Apple. But scroll down a few pixels, and all the other options are listed. Exact same deal with New Order. So JW just needs a more intuitive UI for results, dammit. Get off my lawn.
Anyway, this looks pretty good. I'll check it out

Seems to be a Myanmar-style situation, manipulating public strife in to catapult to power.
