Alexander Payne makes some weird stuff. The idea is novel. And there is a message about the environment, overpopulation and class. Matt Damon is charming and Hong Chau is very good. The accent is maybe overkill since we know she doesn't really talk like that (she was in Treme). The original downsizing concept is interesting, but the class theme then begins to overpower the downsizing. After the first act, the rest of the movie didn't have to take place in miniature at all. This lack of cohesion is ultimately what sinks the film.
