'Don't Look Up' Wasn't Much to Look Up to
Adam McKay might have been more concerned with cramming cameos than he was in this story which is a bloated criticism of the rich and famous… delivered unto us by the rich and famous.

Meet for an hour every day, and you don't have to pay the money you owe me." Luo Jiahui threw an agreement in front of Fan Jiali. Signing this contract of sale, Fan Jia Li felt like her life was completely over. As the debt manager of the Sea Loan Company, Luo Jiahui used his domineering bastard method to break into Fan Jiali's world raw. He is a gangly-looking man, a scoundrel, and good at violence, a complete street gangster, but it is such an unreasonable man who falls into the whirlpool of love. What is love? He doesn't know, all he can do is love her like a gangster.

The biggest highlight of the film is easily the performance of Andrew Garfield. In his days since hanging up his Spiderman suit, Garfield has routinely churned out great performances, and Mainstream is no exception. He proves that he is willing to try anything and go anywhere in a character.
Trolls: World Tour doesn’t just pay lip service to diversity and inclusiveness. There is no white-washing of the voice actors. From the actual K-Pop group Red Velvet voicing the K-Pop Troll bounty hunters to Keenan Thompson playing the Tiny Diamond baby to Kunal Nayyar’s Guy Diamond, the cast includes more than just token minorities.
Praising Black representation and condemning the power structures that suppress it, a mother delivers an impassioned speech to her distant son.
The gentle, emotional nuances of Evan’s coming-of-age story would have been so beneficial to have incorporated into the life of a POC character. Showing a Black, Asian or Latino young man that is afforded the space to be vulnerable, flawed and sensitive while driving a compelling and widely-loved narrative would have been a game changer.
We’ve always known that Edgar Wright is a mixologist when it comes to blending sound, light, colour, and texture. This is especially true in the first act of the film. In fact, all of my positive feedback is directed exclusively at the first act of this film.
