I enjoyed the first hour - the family of different parents, the supermarket, the ominous cloud, the Hitler specialist (though I fail to see the relevance). Then - what was it all about? If it was 'Don't spend time worrying about dying, just live your life' than I don't think we needed two and a quarter hours and a mega-dollar budget to get there. I found it by the end rather frustrating, and the dance credits scene pretentious. Was it about epidemics? Consumerism? The pharmaceutical business? Some funny bits.
Adam Driver kept making me think of Steve Coogan. With Greta Gerwig, Don Cheadle, Raffey Cassidy (eldest daughter), Sam Nivola (son). Based on book by Don DeLillo, photographed by Lol Crawley, edited by Matthew Hannam, music by Danny Elfman, fabulous 1980s production design by Jess Gonchor.
