Film Review: Matt Damon in ‘Downsizing’ Offers Few Small Pleasures
Submitted by PatrickMcD on December 22, 2017 - 9:55amCHICAGO – “Downsizing” is an interesting premise that doesn’t ultimately go anywhere interesting.

Submitted by PatrickMcD on July 30, 2016 - 5:57amCHICAGO – To come back to a character that everyone thought he had left behind, Matt Damon needed the right creative team.
