Mountainhead succeeds at showing you how truly deranged the billionaire mindset can be

Summary

63% Informative

HBO ’s new black dramedy Mountainhead is an incisive send-up of the uber-wealthy oligarch class.

The movie's depiction of tech bros flirting with the idea of taking over the world seems so plausible that it almost doesn't work as satire.

Mountainhead succeeds at showing you how truly deranged the billionaire mindset can be.

The film does a solid job of not feeling like a claustrophobic play about delusional billionaires beefing on top of a mountain.

Few of the Brewsters ’ digs at each other are truly laugh-out-loud funny, but what’s impressive is how each of the characters feels like a distinct embodiment of the culture that gave birth to the modern celebrity tech founder archetype.

Mountainhead works fine if you're craving a cheeky, surface-level indictment of tech barons who fancy themselves as gods.
