Reading around the chip
Who's seen it, then? It's on Netflix. I watched it New Year's round a friend's house.
Anyway, it's brilliant. Think Dr Strangelove meets Mars Attacks, with a touch of Naked Gun and smattering of Brass Eye, plus just the necessary injection of unadorned sadness and regret. For anyone who's not heard of it yet, it's a satirical film about political and media indifference to climate breakdown, told through an allegory of astronomers trying to warn of a comet on course to impact earth. All the performances are spot on, but Mark Rylance's creepy mashup of the world's sociopathic tech billionaires, Cate Blanchett's single-mindedly lascivious talk-show host, and a self-mocking cameo from Ariana Grande deserve special mention.
For a film so sharp, pacy, hilarious and entirely unpretentious, it's had a rough ride from the critics - presumably because it's so unforgiving of the media class. Normal people mostly love it tho. Hit me with your reviews, peeps.
