Flipboard Culture Desk on Nostr: Critics didn't think much of Adam McKay's "Don't Look Up" when it came out in 2021 ...
Critics didn't think much of Adam McKay's "Don't Look Up" when it came out in 2021 (it has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 56%) yet it's now the second most-watched film on Netflix. McKay spoke to the NME about the L.A. fires, climate breakdown, how he'll get his next project to viewers, and the enduring relevance of "Don't Look Up." “The estimates of how many people saw that movie – Netflix will never say exactly – but it’s somewhere between 400 million and half a billion. Viewers all really connected with the idea of being gaslit. Being lied to by their leaders, lied to by their big news media, and being lied to by industries."
