‘Entirely Petty’: Guillermo Del Toro Calls Out Digger Review for Odd Movie Theater Comment
Guillermo Del Toro questioned a reviewer’s bizarre theater etiquette observation regarding the $180 million climate satire currently holding a 53% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, according to industry reports.

- Comparisons to Dr. Strangelove and Don't Look Up exemplify the film's caricature of power, positioning it as a "moving love letter to the endurance and relevance of art.
