The Happy Mutant's Filmgoer's and Video Viewer's Companion

For some reason, the movie Downsizing starring Matt Damon came up when I searched for a comedy as a unicorn chaser. The initial premise was somewhat cringe-worthy (and a topic that gets debated/debunked often on BB). The exploration of money and class seemed underdeveloped, but this review (spoilers) gave a lot more benefit of the doubt. That the lead’s consciousness is raised by a really problematic character/performance might be another reason why I hadn’t stumbled across it when it was first released. I’d only recommend it for hate-watching.
