Christian W 01/03/2023 It really missed some opportunities. Nearly no interactions with differently sized people: the same story could've been told without shrinking anyone. Squandered possibilities, following one guy's journey and he wasn't even among the most interesting people. See more Virpi R @Uneton 2d I liked this, even though it was unusual. A good movie doesn't spell everything out but leaves room for the viewer's own insights. A film that has been criticized far too much. See more Mike S @RT81617967 Jul 19 Terrible movie. Matt Damon is cast as a buffoon and the lead actress is trying really hard to have an Asian accent. It's completely unbelievable. All around, this is a really bad movie. Don't bother. See more Danuel W @DJWilliams Jul 8 Really highlights how half baked alot of human solution can be. Honestly a show I would come back to time and time again See more Lee G @mtex98 Jun 19 Worst movie I have ever seen. It lies about what it is and then preaches at us for 2 hours. In the process it makes a trope out of just about everyone. See more Steven H @Hoc01 Jun 14 I would argue that Downsizing is not a failed satire but a misunderstood masterpiece — misunderstood largely because it asks more of the viewer than the viewer may have been prepared to give. It begins with a comic science-fiction conceit, then gradually strips away the expected pleasures of that conceit until what remains is something stranger and more unsettling: a meditation on consumption, class, mortality, environmental collapse, and the small acts of mercy that may be the only meaningful answer to catastrophe. Critics who complained that the film "lost the plot" may have missed that losing the plot is precisely its method. The movie keeps shrinking the scale of its concerns until the fate of the world becomes inseparable from whether one person can choose compassion over self-preservation. That is not narrative failure. That is philosophical design. See more Read all reviews
