Don't Look Up

Synopsis

"If the world was coming to an end, would you trust your politicians to do the right thing? That's the question asked here. I wasn't exactly gripped by the plot, but the cast, yes please, this film boasts one impressive line up. I thoroughly enjoyed it, it managed to mix up subtlety with brashness incredibly well, it pokes fun at modern cultures, celebrity and the absurdities of social media. I spoke to a few people that found it rather funny, I can't say I was amused, but I certainly was entertained. The absurdity amused me, I pondered if some events would happen if the world did actually face disaster. The rich getting richer in the face of disaster..... Merryl Street as always was first class, but for me the standout had to be Di Caprio, he was terrific throughout, that scene where he blows his top, incredible." [IMDb reviewer] "This is, of course, about global warming, and how we’re not doing enough about it—a funny premise for a star-studded comedy with disturbing stakes." [RogerEbert.com]
