Downsizing movie quotes help tell the tall tale in the movie about a world where people are shrunk to inches to accomplish big things. The sci-fi comedy-drama was directed by Alexander Payne using a screenplay he co-wrote with Jim Taylor. After appearing at the Venice International Film Festival, Downsizing opened theatrically in the United States on December 22, 2017.
In Downsizing, married couple Paul (Matt Damon) and Audrey Safranek (Kristen Wiig) are struggling and unhappy in their dead-end jobs. But after learning that old friends Dave (Jason Sudeikis) and Carol Johnson (Maribeth Monroe) have undergone the medical procedure to shrink them to five inches, Paul and Audrey explore the idea.
Paul and Audrey learn that while they only have a meager among of money, that sum would be worth millions in Leisureland, where the small folks live and they'd be helping the planet by reducing their waste. Looking for a better life, they agree to go through with the downsizing. But when Paul awakens to find out Audrey backed out at the last minute, he's left to pick up the pieces, start a new life and find out what really makes him happy.
Also starring Christoph Waltz, Downsizing was one of several winter 2017-18 films to open alongside the likes of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, The Greatest Showman, The Post, and Bright.
