Don't Look Up, (despite getting Best Picture and Best Screenplay nominations) was maligned by many critics at the time of its release.
Some people three years ago found it too on the nose and over the top.
But i'm telling you, in retrospect, especially considering the rise of this new administration, this movie is so ahead of its time.
It predicted a dumb tech billionaire having massive influence in the government, who's also obsessed on rare minerals and going to another planet, and in the meantime there's an upcoming meteor which could strike Earth.
And this billionaire is enabled by an equally dumb populist president and the dishonest media which control an extremely large and ignorant part of its population.
It's one of those "prophetic satires" that deserves to be put up there among Dr.Strangelove, A Face In The Crowd, Ace In The Hole, Network, and Being There.
It's like a documentary of this time we are living.
Also there's a great cast with hilarious and very committed performances, in my opinion the standouts were Blanchett, Di Caprio, Rylance and Hill.
It will be a new classic satire in years to come.
