The sad thing about this movie is that the message will be lost on the very people who need it the most. Those who already get it will appreciate the satire and alignment with the upsetting and scary absurdity of what has happened in the world: particularly in the polarized America. Sadly, at the rate we are going, it will take total planetary decimation for people to get a clue. Which, of course, will be too late. If it helps even one person wake up, then it was worth it. Otherwise, the all star cast was great and entertaining. Jonah Hill and his Birkin make a final appearance post-credit, which sends it all home. Change or die. We are at a choice point now and need to decide what it’s going to be.

You’d have to be heartless to give this a bad review. The story is compelling and heartbreaking for everyone involved. They all suffered. Sandra is phenomenal, as are all of the other actors and actresses. Viola Davis is superb. But all parts are. And the story unfolds really well. They don’t rush anything and there are twists and turns. I ended it sitting on my couch sobbing and likely will watch again. Perfect pace. Perfectly done. I truly struggle with anyone who wouldn’t find it a worthwhile watch. They are missing the emotion and empathy gene. [As relates to the bad reviews, leave it to the ageist aholes who are all bent out of shape that Sandra is 57. Comment on her age repeatedly. Comment how she isn’t a viable actress anymore because of her age, so she had to turn to producing her own movie. And even struggle to fathom how a hot guy younger than she is would fall for her. There are no words. Get help. You are 3D low vibe twits with narcissist personality disorder. Get off the Tik Tok and evolve.]

Just stumbled upon this with no idea of the plot or the fact Ricky Gervais was in it (he also writes and directs). It’s really deep and existential, while still being incredibly funny and insightful. In a time when we are all looking at our lives in a much deeper view, this adds a layer of perspective that is valuable. Really thought provoking. I don’t look at the critics reviews, so I’m not sure why they don’t like it. It’s odd they wouldn’t. This is tenfold better than most shows.
