The Release of “The Hunt” Brings Last Year’s Criticism of It Into a New Perspective

Fox News and President Donald Trump framed “The Hunt” as controversial before anyone had seen it, unknowingly reflecting the premise of the film. (Some spoilers). — I was scrolling through political pandemic opinions on my Twitter timeline when I saw a friend’s post about a scandal linked to an article with no details that backed up their propaganda-like statement. When I messaged them to ask if they had found any…
