Good review, but I don't think claiming Hitler was a Darwinist was satire. It is pretty well documented and the Holocaust was nothing more than Euthenasia. Rest of the review was spot on.
Great movie that was brilliantly made.

The movie is actually quite careful to state that it would be ridiculous to claim all Darwinists are Nazis. But it shows to a demonstration that Hitler was a Darwinist, (as though it is needed) and it makes a strong case that Darwin was an extreme eugenicist himself, on the decisive moral point. In other words, that it was not simply a gross distortion of Darwin, but something he believed himself. The damning quote from Darwin is that only a fool would let his worst animals breed, in a deliberately human context.
