The experiments and the cause become so popular they go global, with increasing requests by people who want to shrink to five inches (12 centimetres) in order to live on the fat of land, plunging in luxury. Paul Safranek (Matt Damon) and his wife Audrey (Kristen Wiig) are tempted to join the miniaturized world.<\/p>\n<p>The social critique is staged terrifically both in terms of technical effects, majestic shots and brilliant acting. The cast (Matt Damon, Kristen Wiig, Christoph Waltz, Hong Chau, Alec Baldwin, Neil Patrick Harris, Maribeth Monroe, Jason Sudeikis) is amusing, moving, and enthralling. Hong Chau is the true revelation of the cast with her bold interpretation of\u00a0Ngoc Lan, a one-legged former prisoner who continues her mission to help the underprivileged in the wonderland of little people: Leisureland.<\/p>\n<p>The Lilliputian world, that shifts from utopia to dystopia, portrays how those who downsize, to apparently embrace a more sustainable and less expensive existence, will discover how much further money goes into the new kind of lifestyle. Paul\u2019s Swiftian personal journey intertwines with the experiences of the idealists and the profiteering, to mock the dark side of scientific progress.<\/p>\n<p><b>Technical: A<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Acting: B<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Story: B+<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Overall: B+<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>Written by: Chiara Spagnoli Gabardi<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Downsizing Director: Alexander Payne Cast: Matt Damon, Kristen Wiig, Christoph Waltz, Hong Chau, Alec Baldwin, Neil Patrick Harris, Maribeth Monroe and Jason Sudeikis.
