This dragged somewhat but in the end I was glad I watched it. Good performances, wry, dark humor. I told my kid this would be a great movie to watch with friends because it will give you a lot to discuss afterwards. It was a little long because the writers had to make *all* the points.

I felt it resonated more in terms of the global response to Covid rather than climate change, and I think I figured out why. The time frame of this movie created a sense of urgency that climate change does not. You just wanted to shake some of these people and say "Hello??!! Are you even hearing what these scientists are telling you??" Kind of like one might want to with Covid deniers. And then all the ridiculous divisiveness that followed in the movie aligned with what happened in the world following the start of the pandemic. But I also now see that the whole message that billionaires and lobbyists in bed with politicians are trumping the data and facts is more aligned with climate change. So, yes, pretty political movie either way you look at it.

Entertaining, worth watching, not a waste of my time, but an Oscar nominee? I don't think so. Hollywood nominated it so we'd go watch it and they could preach their message to more of us.
