Review of Don't Look Up (2021) by Claytaylor21 — 25 Dec 2021
Don't Look Up is a hilarious yet bleak satirical comedy that certainly is not lacking in things to say. The film highlights important and currently relevant themes such as social media, "political activism", and corrupt leadership.
It also features great performances, primarily those of DiCaprio and Lawrence. It seemed that the immense stakes of the story took a bit away from the lead characters and left them feeling a bit underwritten, but much of this was made up for by the terrific lead acting.
They made emotional moments that shouldn't have worked some of the best parts of the movie. I also found that most of the comedy really hit for me with Jonah Hill in particular being a highlight in this respect.
My one other flaw was that the film had a few side plots that seemed a bit extraneous, but many of these wound up having at least some pay off. In summary, Don't Look Up is hilarious and extremely topical in today's world.
I would absolutely recommend giving it a watch.
