From playwright and screenwriter Paul Rudnick, and directed by Jay Roach, comes this socially distanced HBO satire that tells the stories of five distinct and impassioned characters as they grapple with politics, culture and the pandemic. Adapted from Rudnick's play and filmed under quarantine guidelines in the summer of 2020, this comedy stars Bette Midler, Kaitlyn Dever, Dan Levy, Sarah Paulson and Issa Rae as the quintet who reacts with frustration, hilarity and introspection when forced to cope with the shutdown in isolation.

Critics Consensus: The top-shelf cast gives Coastal Elites a passionate pulse, but redundant speechifying and the stilted format result in a repetitive preaching to the choir.

Reviews

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Jason Flatt

Like all of 2020, Coastal Elites does too many things at once to ultimately do most of them well.

Roach and Rudnick take the most popular type of people and, by epigrammatic, provocative script, make Coastal Elites an excellent pandemic watch. Once you think you can relax and laugh, they hit you with a twist that stimulates reflection.

Essentially amounts to an alternate cut of last month's Democratic National Convention, marked by the same laziness of form and messaging.

Coastal Elites is so busy being mad about Trump that it forgets to be about anything else at all.

The television play is compassionate and true and (this is Paul Rudnick) very funny.
