Topic: Bafta 52: Don't Look Up
Posted by: Sara Nathan
Date/Time: 30/01/22 12:18:00

Amazing cast especially Leonardo Di Caprio as the geeky scientist, Meryl Streep hamming it up madly as the appalling Trump-esqe president, Mark Rylance as the real baddy cross between a perverted Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg (I think) and Cate Blanchett as the TV presenter.

Intersting premise, not so interesting script and massive cop-out in one way (though not in the other) at the end.

Is it a metaphor for global warming as activists suggest? Not sure.

I liked it more than I thought I would though.
