I liked this film, primarily because I LOVED the Phoenix character and Serra Naiman's portrayal of her. I also liked the quirkiness of the production. I honestly didn't like almost anything else about this film; I was somewhere between a little bored and painfully bored whenever Naiman wasn't onscreen.

The 2011 film's minute details of course couldn't and didn't perfectly match those of the great COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 (for example, the virus' parameters such as incubation period and virulence, and the functionality of both USA supply chains and the USA government's response), but more important I think to a viewer is the comforting sense of relating to it more than to life in our actual Before Times. For example, the way the camera focused exactly on the kind of objects of infection vectors that we are all NOW trained to. Difficult, though, were (I'll be un-spoilingly vague now) final scenes of a resolution when we as yet have no resolution in sight now May 2020.

Excellent, and very important film every American needs to see. Startlingly eye opening, clearly demonstrates the impossible challenges of the unmanaged globalization of a race-to-the-bottom. At once fascinating and full of laugh-out-loud black humor.
