Venice opens today, with Alexander Payne's Downsizing
>For up to an hour, Downsizing seems to play to the director’s best, most acidly rueful instincts. The origins, branding and physical practicalities of small-living culture are detailed with a wicked sense of whimsy akin to Charlie Kaufman.
>At the halfway mark, however, I began to feel myself growing out of Downsizing—just as Payne makes a fearsomely ambitious, Preston Sturges-referencing allegorical lunge for the heart of America.
