The film suffers in that the human moments aren’t nearly human enough.

["Don't Look Up"] accurately depicts how sensationalism today can stoke panic, fear, and mistrust among the public. Suddenly, science doesn’t matter as much anymore, when it contradicts one’s personal truths.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 4, 2024

I laughed, I laughed some more, and I nearly died at certain points… but through all the satirical material there is true heart to the entire film… as well tense themes that make us look at ourselves. DiCaprio is incredible

Disaster film is a fitting title because this film was a disaster.

| Jul 26, 2023

On par with a mediocre SNL sketch.

| Jul 26, 2023

Don't Look Up hilariously approaches almost every theme worthy of discussion through Adam McKay's satirical screenplay that will undoubtedly leave viewers either incredibly satisfied or extremely triggered.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 25, 2023

Don’t Look Up doesn’t give any space for the viewer to breathe. The film is chaotic and cluttered as only some characters are used to serve a narrative purpose.

| Jul 21, 2023

Incredibly effective, and it was nice to see the craziness of the world we’re living in portrayed as how it actually feels to live in it; often frustrating but usually ridiculous at how oblivious and indifferent most people are...

| Jul 19, 2023

Despite some clever gags... the film ultimately runs out of steam and fails to make a deep impact.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 12, 2022

How I learned to stop worrying and love Don’t Look Up? Adam McKay’s film is a savage American political satire and the best since Wag the Dog. In his own words, he timed that shit perfectly.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Oct 21, 2022

Don’t Look Up calls out institutional indifference to impending disaster with relatable and riveting rage thanks to a scorching script and engaged ensemble.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Sep 1, 2022

There’s so much crammed into this movie, and it’s a miracle that (for the most part) McKay manages to hold it all together.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 16, 2022

It's merely stating what everyone has already observed for the past two years, and delivering it with a shit-eating grin.

| Jul 8, 2022

A satire that at times reaches a revitalizing elegance and at others seems to emulate the level of discourse and debate in social media, television, and family tables: rough, raw, superficial, and even vulgar. [Full review in Spanish]

Initially, the satire has a few funny moments... But I can't remember anything else. For this reason, I can't judge it fairly. [Full review in Spanish]

Although I tend to agree with McKay’s worldview and identify with his cynicism about politics, media culture, and humanity’s general short-sightedness, his methods as a filmmaker rarely convince me. Don’t Look Up might be the exception.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 29, 2022

Like "The Big Short" and "Vice," McKay's latest film pulls no punches in his political commentary, as he continues to make some excellent points but in a primarily condescending manner to his viewers who already received the message long ago.

| Original Score: 6/10 | May 18, 2022

The bulk of the movie is played for gags before the serious stuff kicks in at the end. Its never easy for a director to reconcile such contrasting tones, and McKay is no exception.

| Mar 29, 2022

Its still sadly rare to see female characters working in STEM given the grace to be imperfect on screen.

| Original Score: B- | Mar 17, 2022

Don’t Look Up ultimately feels like just one more disaster movie: it is far easier—and maybe even more fun—to imagine the apocalyptic end of the world than to imagine how we could live in a radically different way now to prevent it.
