I saw The Road and It Comes At Night pretty quickly after each other. Both incredibly disturbing in how possible and real it all is. Any other films that portray the incoming environmental collapse and/or societal decay?

    Yeah, Us is very ambiguous. Unfortunately I think it ultimately makes fun of this mentality as the tethered are all sheltered and therefore while their goal is showy and ambitious, it's ultimately not that impactful. Would love a sequel. What happens from there?!

    Handmaid's Tale is terrific IMO, the first two seasons kind of revel in the misery, but the third season allows the characters to realise resistance is the only possible course of action. It gets violent haha

    Although weirdly Handmaid's Tale is a more positive vision of our future. The Theocratic fascists take over, but they 'resolve' climate change. I don't see Mike Pence adjacents doing jackshit.
