“Don’t Look Up” plays out like an apocalyptic matryoshka: a disaster film inside a disaster film.
Adam McKay has delivered satiric disaster flicks before (Big Short, Vice). Only now he threatens to really wipe out humanity at the hands of ridiculously powerful nitwits.
And along the way he has assembled a cast that would make Robert Altman blush:
- Lawrence and DiCaprio become the sexiest ever nerds next-door.
- Streep’s President Orlean is the would-be bastard child of Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Ultimately, this is an ultra watchable allegory for our own faces-stuck-to-our-screens reality….
…For how easily we outsource our collective wisdom…
…And for how capable we are a society to create a spectacle of our own mortality.
