Alexander Payne's latest, which opened the Venice Film Festival, stars Matt Damon and Kristen Wiig as a husband and wife who shrink themselves in order to simplify their lives.
2674d ago
Damon stars as a man who shrinks down to the height of five inches in Payne’s sci-fi comedy, a winningly inventive tale of masculinity in crisis.
2674d ago
Weird and wonderful, zigging where it should zag and zagging where it should zig, this wildly imaginative flight of fancy strikes an admirably poised balance between whimsy, screwball comedy, social satire and generous meditation on the foibles and highest aspirations of human nature.
2674d ago
Alexander Payne's science-fiction comedy about humans who get miniaturized to save the planet (and live like royalty) is that rare thing: a ticklish and resonant crowd-pleaser for grown-ups.
2674d ago
With startling performances and special effects, director Alexander Payne's dystopian sci-fi satire "brims over with the pleasures of the unexpected"
2674d ago
Downsizing wins with deadpan, whimsical satire.
2674d ago
Venice 2017: Alexander Payne’s sci-fi comedy examines the human condition in both the macro and the micro.
2674d ago
But heady, bold statements about humankind are both the film’s best aspect and its chief flaw: There are just so many of them.
2674d ago
Downsizing is arguably the most flawed of Payne’s work, but despite its apocalyptic overtones, it’s also his most optimistic.
2674d ago
Matt Damon's shrinking comedy is big on ideas.
2674d ago
Features thorny questions and one terrific performance.
2674d ago
It starts out as a movie about a technological change that alters the fabric of the world, and it ends up with Matt Damon.
2674d ago
Alexander Payne thinks too small with his Matt Damon shrinking comedy Downsizing.
2674d ago
However nice it is to see Alexander Payne stretching his skills with this sprawling story and special-effects work, the filmmaker might have benefited by taking a downsizing hint from his movie’s title.
2674d ago
Downsizing is an ambitious movie about the value of modesty, and its faults are proportionate to its insights. I sort of wish it felt like a bigger deal, but maybe that’s my problem.
2674d ago
Downsizing isn’t bad but it’s a wasted opportunity.
2674d ago
Alexander Payne’s comedy scales up a scheme to save the planet and get rich in the process.
2674d ago
Alexander Payne’s new sci-fi comedy, about a near future in which humans can opt to “go small,” squanders its big ideas in record time.
2674d ago
“Downsizing” has the vision to shrink Matt Damon, but not to dare a new POV.
2674d ago
Alexander Payne's "Downsizing" starts with an intriguing "What if?...", the launch pad of all good sci-fi stories, and very quickly devolves into a bland story about a nondescript khaki-wearing guy who learns to care about the less fortunate.
2674d ago
Payne’s defenders might call his often acidic touch Swiftian, though it comes off more toothlessly noncommittal.
