Review
Downsizing deals with terrific concepts involving life, consumerism, and the will to make a better world. Matt Damon plays Paul Safranek, an occupational therapist who undergoes the miniaturization process so he can live the rest of his life luxuriously but at a minimal cost in the tiny world. Fun goes alongside heavier themes throughout the film, which is where some of the lags happen. A tad too on the nose, certainly, but wonderfully acted and breathtaking to watch. If you enjoy thoughtful sci-fi with a touch of humor, consider giving Downsizing a chance.
