As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

What an absolutely beautiful film!!!! I had always wanted to see this film but always passed it up. I'm so glad I gave it a chance! Although it's in Italian, I watched it in Spanish and read subtitles. This movie tugged at my heart strings! It was a beautiful mixture of comedy, romance and drama. Make sure to have tissues ready! This will definitely go on my list of all time favorite movies!

Liked the first half of it. I didn't know what I was going to watch. Downsizing and this movie has a problem in common. Downsizing failed because it started out serious then it went into a comedy.This one started out as a comedy and it kept being funny even in a death camp which is a pretty serious thing. Which it seems by the reviews only a problem for me. Not realistic at all by any means. Not even the time spacing is realistic..Utterly overrated.( Seen over 2000 movies, about 180 of the top250, I gave them about their imdb score. I love movies like Citizen Kane, Casablanca, Star Wars, every work of Hitchcock and Kubrick, Nolan movies, etc.. I can enjoy every genre, I have a great taste. That's the reason when I'm saying this is overrated you should atleast just think about it.)

When this movie came out people fawned over it like it was the best movie ever. My friends and I watched it and left wondering WTF were critics loving about this movie!!!! The tone changes are not smooth but, jarring and continue throughout the film! It would make sense once or twice during specific events but, the whole film??? No. This is like "A Quiet Place," where the star is the new studio darling so even though the premise and execution are crap, studio-paid critics give the movie high ratings.
