could be a timeless masterpiece

I was a bit alarmed by the backlash of Star Wars, in which a lot of people were talking bad about Rian Johnson. But this movie is in the genre Rian Johnson knows how to direct, in which Rian Johnson can deliver. It is a captivating movie, characters are well defined and balanced. A nice character study, a nice plot, a very well thought off twist at the end.
And yet, in stead of delivering a time less master piece about a family and how they deal with a time of crisis, the movie get lost in contemporary politics. Discussing current US politics, which makes the movie from time to time a movie for Americans in 2019 only. Although the movie can survive this and will remain a good movie to see, it will look dated in a few years, simply because of incorporating nowadays politics.
