Downsizing
I enjoyed this movie, but was it trying to be a Sci fi flick, a dramatic comedy, or a rom com, or a political commentary on environmentalism, or a political commentary on colonialism... It could have been really amazing if it chose any of those options but instead it was pretty messy, sadly.
The trailer made it look like a funny, interesting sci-fi flick. Instead it went everywhere.
It wasn’t the worst movie I‘ve ever watched but the fact that it tried to do everything all at once was weird. It’s like the writers kept passing along the script to a new team every few pages.
That's exactly what it felt like. It's a shame, too, I feel like I would have been into it if it had committed to any one or two or those directions, but it was just a mess.
