directed by: Alexander Payne, year: 2017
actors: Matt Damon, Christoph Waltz, Hong Chau, Kristen Wiig

An inventive sci-fi comedy-drama about Paul Safranek (Matt Damon), who signs up to be shrunk to a miniature size to live a greener, supposedly richer life. As he adjusts to a tiny nation within a big world, he confronts personal sacrifice, social inequality, and the boundaries between idealism and reality. With warm humor and bittersweet observations, Downsizing uses a fantastical premise to probe happiness, community, and what means most to us.
