Review of Don't Look Up (2021) by Jeanrenoir — 08 Jan 2022
It's as depressing to compare Don't Look Up with Dr. Strangelove as it is to compare Amor Towles' Rules of Civility with The Great Gatsby, since both contemporary works are such reflections of the vapidity of American culture, and most artists, today, compared to the genuine, profound critical geniuses the American arts used to throw up.
All right-thinking people will agree with Don't Look Up's mockery of the vapid stupidity of American culture and Americans today, but the movie mostly wastes some of the best actors Hollywood has on its own artistic ineptitude.
