This documentary could not be more fucking white. Purportedly about the indigenous communities who live in the Amazonía region in southern Colombia, the rate of old white Western male anthropologists talking vs. indigenous people talking is about 98% vs. 2%. Oh, and some even older American anthropologist from Harvard is referred to as the “Father of the Amazon”. Fucking yikes.
This “dark comedy” is one of the most unfunny movies I’ve ever had the displeasure of watching. It’s “stelllar cast” (which it references in a cringeworthy “‘meta” moment) cannot save what I’m assuming a bunch of 40 year old white men thought was going to be a “hilarious” spoof of Armageddon mixed with some “on point” social satire. The movie fails dramatically at both. Throwing in a million Twitter, Facebook and Tik Tok references, and making Meryl Streep a painful-to-watch…
