Review of Downsizing (2017) by Carol G — 06 Jan 2018

Much more than I expected - I thought it would basically be just a comedy. There was entertaining comedy, as well as an interesting premise, social consciousness, and very engaging and unique characters and storyline.

I don't think the marketing of this movie was effective, and possibly people went to see it with expectations that weren't fulfilled and so they were disappointed. I also notice that many movies which focus on the socio-economic and climatic state of the world do not seem to be well-supported - do some powers-that-be find them too threatening?
