Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio's new movie DontLookUp is now available to watch on Netflix, but is it worth a watch? Our review:
Fortunately, it's not about a pandemic, but there's a lot in Adam McKay's latest movie that could cut too close to the bone for some viewers, or it could be cathartic. With a comet on a collision course with Earth,While written about the climate crisis , there's a lot in the movie that could just easily have been written about the pandemic. McKay pulls no punches, so as much asmakes you laugh, it could make you very angry as well. And that's the point.
Only this time, the president wants to"sit tight and assess" until the midterms are over in three weeks' time. With no backing from the government, Kate and Randall are forced to embark on a media tour to get the word out to force some action and stop the imminent destruction of Earth. It's a tricky balance that McKay had to land between the absurdist humour and the darker apocalyptic story, and it doesn't always work. In particular, the editing takes a while to adjust to, as scenes appear to end abruptly, or are overlapped for no obvious reason. At their best, the smash cuts heighten the humour, but there are plenty of other times where they just feel like style for style's sake., McKay still has a stellar cast to keep you engaged.
