Soylent Green (Richard Fleischer, 1973)

7/10
The impact is diminished now that the final gutpunch of the movie has entered the pop culture lexicon, but dystopian atmosphere (7 years away from today!) is really well done. The city is hot and sweaty and pulses with a kind of malevolent, simmering fever. The casual misogyny is a little jarring and unexpected...but I guess that was the time (1973 I mean, not 2022). Fun enough to watch to flesh out my knowledge of pop culture movies but not essential I don't think.
