Review of Don't Look Up (2021) by Mauro_Lanari — 28 Dec 2021
(Mauro Lanari).
In his most ambitious film, McKay avoids the blockbuster of "Armageddon" or the nihilism of "Melancholia" and looks up to "Dr. Strangelove" to adapt it to the epochal changes of our contemporaneity. But if Kubrick gradually turned on with the passage from the grotesque to the final invective suspended between farce and devastating satire, this film follows the opposite path: it starts full of hilarious gags and then freezes there, in a parodistic irony that in the second part does not know how to make genial leaps in quality. Let's be content: Stanleys are not born every day.
