Downsizing Ratings & Reviews

  • RyezooFebruary 15, 2025
    First 30 minutes is interesting, funny, and actually good. The other hour in a half is preachy, unfunny, boring, and the plot just meanders on for far to long. The cool concept is abandoned by the director who is more interested in making a movie about a mid life crisis. Great concept-- Wasted
  • Eric BakkeOctober 9, 2024
    Inventive, humorous, quirky, and uplifting, though it occasionally veers into dull territory. However, it’s the captivating character of Ngoc Lan Tran, portrayed by Hong Chau, that elevates this film to new heights.
