The Divergent Series Is the Ultimate Teen Dystopian Sugar Rush

Divergent and its sequels don't make a whole lot of sense--but what they do have is a blend of wish-fulfillment, anarchic WTFery and actual social commentary that amounts to the Platonic ideal of "dystopia as cotton candy." You will be in a sugar coma at the end of this film, but the sacrifice of your brain may not be entirely in vain.
