Regarding Wick’s Review
There’s a satirical purpose — and by satire I mean not humor, but use of inversion to upend social norms or to level a critique — in the absurd use of the children as a vehicle. While there is ample distortion in the construction of the drama, the core message of parallel humanity and its terrible toll, the humanity that plays a role in the innocent and the evil, overcomes any limitations of the plot devices.
