Our Hero, Balthazar review – a darkly comic satire of incel culture and gun violence The recent controversy surrounding online platforms and their handling of hate speech has exposed a toxic underbelly of American society.
This issue is eerily reminiscent of our own country's history. In "Balthazar", Oscar Boyson tackles the problem with scathing satire, exposing the culture of incels and their online antics.
On its surface, the film appears to be a black comedy about a privileged teenager's descent into madness, but upon closer inspection, it reveals a seething commentary on our collective apathy towards gun violence.
