Review of Downsizing (2017) by Sanjay R — 31 Dec 2017

The clear disappointment of the year. The characters in this film are so mundane, most of the dialogue sounds like small talk, and the story is just so uninteresting. The premise is okay, and that is the nicest thing I can say about this film.

Listening to the lame banter makes you actively wonder why you paid to watch this when you could have just eavesdropped on two coworkers complaining about it being Monday. And as bad as everything was, it was made a lot worse by the performance of Hong Chau, whose performance is ridiculously obnoxious, and honestly a little racist.

I can't think of any type of moviegoer that would enjoy this film, so just skip it completely.
