Don't Look Up (2021)
6/10
Brevity is the soul of wit
27 October 2022
Someone once said and it's a lesson this movie should have taken to heart. It's a black comedy that doesn't go dark enough and it's just soooooooooo loooooooooong. I'm a firm believer that for a comedy film to hit it needs to compact-anything over 90 minutes is too long and you're straying into dramedy territory. And you can't be too earnest which I think this film also suffers from-there's a gravity lurking below each performance and it's distracting. Great cast though and appreciate the attempt to draw attention the greenhouse effect as it's a serious issue-albeit one we should have addressed decades ago.
