Movie Review: Downsizing (2017)



Hello All,


Gonna be a quick one, got a pounding headache. Let’s try and figure out Matt Damon’s career together shall we?

Plot Summary - Paul Safranek (Matt Damon) and his wife decide to downsize to five inches to height, he begins to reassess his life and tries to gain a new perspective.

Plot - The cast is great, and strangely diverse with a tremendous number of small cameos. The story goes in a much different direction than expected, and has kind of a great core idea. It also does a great job of going lightly on the short jokes, mostly aiming for neat visuals over cheap humour.

Cons - It’s a touch on the lengthy side, and the ending is much more ambiguous than probably need be. There’s also a dramatic underuse of Christoph Waltz, but that seems to be hollywood’s forte lately.

Final Score - 8/10

Not too light and fluffy, if long and too ambiguous. Good for a an afternoon.

Next: Darkest Hour - Shape of Water has been bumped. Local showtimes haven't been posted yet so I can’t quite get confirmation, but I’m aiming for a Jan. 3rd to 7th post date for the year end reviews.
