Lower is better
Review
The movie constantly hammers anti-rich capitalism and Big Pharma exploitation the whole way through. The Gen Z daughter lectures on oligarchy and how philanthropy is reputation laundering for the wealthy while the billionaire family commodifies the unicorn for profit. The entire narrative engine is the greedy rich getting slaughtered by unicorn parents for trying to turn a mythical creature into a miracle cure.
