on how rich people attend kinky sex orgies and the implied danger of exposing them.

Yes there are people like Jeffry Epstein, but by and large the whole masked ritual cult thing is what the "rest of us" ( especially MAGA people ) imagine the the ultra rich and connected people do in private parties.

Not to say it doesn't every happen ( P. Diddy, the Italian Prime Minister and his Bunga Bunga parties...

but really there were more "key parties" in the seventies in the suburbs of America than the rich indulging in ritual sex orgies.

I didn't care for the movie. Nicole Kidman could have had a much bigger role.
