“Although there's some enjoyment to be had in watching DiCaprio dress up in silly costumes and pretend he's a second-rate actor, the meta-humor is nowhere near as funny as Tarantino thinks it is.” –

Earth (Erde) (2019)

“Rendered abstract by the extreme distance, the landscapes assume an organic appearance, so that the machines appear to be lacerating the Earth's skin, while the grim colour of the devastated land and polluted sky evoke nothing less than a cancer.” –

EDIT
“Non-Fiction is a portrait of the present at once attuned to the zeitgeist and dated, a contradiction that often inhibits the film's narrative momentum and ends up restricting the scope and impact of its critique.” –
