YMMV / Mon Oncle

• Vindicated by History: At the time of its release, most French critics were rather cold with the film, seeing its take on the emerging French consumer culture as reactionary and even poujadiste^note A form of right-wing populism that was gaining traction in France at the time, championed by and named for right-wing politician Pierre Poujade.. However, as the years went by and those on both sides of the political spectrum become more cynical towards that sort of Conspicuous Consumption, the film's satire became better appreciated.
