"Don't Look Up" will divide audiences for a myriad of reasons, but personally, I found this to be a brilliant satire about the state of growing misinformation and the dangerous hypocrisies of this digital age.
It's chock full of unpleasant characters and unpleasant situations, and viewers need to go-into-it all with a coarse grain of salt. I suspect many detractors of the film might be those easily persuaded by misinformation, and those, who themselves, like to ignore science and grasp onto those social lifelines - instead of heeding the poignant and important meaning of the film - they will focus on all the negatives.
The film is absolutely absurd, and it's supposed to be. The style fits the absurdity's, and the cast is exceptional.
It's not perfect. The film would have benefitted from more family development, and a better soundtrack, but any low scores can be dismissed as those who took political offense and missed the point.
Good movie. Will surely find a top 25 spot for 2021. Love the extended credits. The film is clever and, imo, an important film.
