Vice, director Adam McKay’s recent biopic of Dick Cheney, has gotten mixed reviews here at Slate. Dana Stevens called it “busy yet curiously insubstantial.” Fred Kaplan wrote that it failed as comedy and history. Sam Adams compared the film’s post-credits scene to “raw sewage.” And in the annual Movie Club, Bilge Ebiri called it “the biggest disappointment of the year for me.” Worst of all, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association gave the film a Golden Globe. But critics must now begrudgingly admit that, whatever Vice’s vices were as a work of art, it was devastatingly effective as a work of political propaganda: People reports that Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump walked out of the movie.
