I'm still thinking about it. I watched it alone and want to watch it again with someone so we can talk about it.

I have to say, I ended up feeling a bit more sorry for the wife than I thought I initially would. David keeps her so insulated and infantalized in a way, that it was easy to see why she was in such a bubble. She didn't know anything about the state of their finances.

The insanity of their ridiculous mansion embodied the kind of mindless expansion that comes with having too much money. It's hard to grasp how large it is until it was mentioned that finished it would be as large as an theme area in Disneyland park.
