Don’t Look Up (2021)

I've long championed Adam McKay since I made The Big Short my film of the year, now he has definitive works on the GFC, the destruction of American democracy (Vice) and climate change. He's the most important director in America. This film is polarizing, not because it attacks politicians and the media, but the public too - and none of them like it. Flawed but unflinching and brilliant, it's empowering to see such an acidic film become the most watched in Netflix history.
