   Is downsizing a good movie?

   • “Downsizing” is an ambitious movie about the value of modesty, and its faults are proportionate to its insights. I sort of wish it felt like a bigger deal, but maybe that’s my problem. Rated R. A few little things. Running time: 2 hours 15 minutes.

   Is downsizing a good idea?

   • The real attraction in becoming small isn’t that you consume less; it’s that you can have a whole lot more. That’s what Paul and Audrey Safranek, an Omaha couple played by Matt Damon and Kristen Wiig, discover. Compared with their regular-size lives of compromised dreams and diminished expectations, downsizing promises luxury and abundance.

   Is downsizing a sci-fi movie?

   • Although the sci-fi trappings of Downsizing make it seem like a big departure from Payne’s previous work — The Descendants, Sideways, About Schmidt — it is the same in important ways. It’s a movie about a man suddenly separated from people he’s loved, trying to learn how to live again.

   • Overall, a 6/10.

   Review: ‘Downsizing’ is Boldest Film Yet by Alexander Payne. John H. Foote. December 16, 2017. The films of Alexander Payne are sublime; deeply felt films about Americans at crossroads in life brought upon usually by an accident, a celebration or fate, exposing the flaws and yet humanity in the characters to perfection.
