Downsizing

Matt Damon stars as Paul, a Midwestern regular guy, who in a quest for "upward" mobility chooses to be Downsized.  Being shrunk to 5 inches but still having resources of a larger person leads to an increased quality of life in the Celebration, Florida style.  Or so he thinks.

When his wife Audrey (Kristen Wiig) throws him a curveball, he really has to start from the "ground up" in his new world.  This is very much a New World story and that is the best part, as seeing how the different people, the Smalls must live together and find significance in their new life.  Excellent support by Christoph Waltz and Hong Chau

Very creative and definitely deeper than expected.  Directed by Alexander Payne.  He can take what could be a Middle Age Loser theme and turn it into an important journey into a new age (e.g. Sideways, Nebraska)

It's Christmastime!  * * * * * 5 stars!
