Don’t Look Up (2021) is a dark comedy directed by Adam McKay, which satirizes the global response to a looming catastrophe. The film follows two astronomers, Dr. Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence), who discover a massive comet on a collision course with Earth. As they attempt to warn the public and the government, they face media indifference, political chaos, and public apathy. The film critiques societal reactions to urgent crises, blending humor and absurdity with a biting commentary on climate change, misinformation, and political dysfunction. The star-studded ensemble cast also includes Meryl Streep, Jonah Hill, and Timothée Chalamet.
