Genre : Documentary / Sci Fi

Cast : Samantha Morton

The British Sci Fi docu-drama is inspired by the 1962 short movie La Jetee.

Ghost lives in a post-apocalyptic world, after "the event" took place. She spends her days rummaging through the garbage of the rich people, thinking about her grandmother, who fought against the system, knowing what was about to take place.

The world is now a surveillance and police state.

In such a world, even underground, where she lives, she can't trust anyone, as they might betray her. She has no one, no one to love and love her back, she is not safe, she is cold, she can't speak, but did find a Malcom X book through the trash and reads it.

This world was depressing, as it was the rest of the movie, portraying real life events, making me think I'd rather die than live like that, as that was no life!

There's really little acting involved, I think our lead appears for 10 minutes in the movie. The rest are scenes from the news.

 

I found the movie biased, and very left leaning (it felt they were telling us if the right wins we're doomed). It said the conservative media is lying, spreading fake news. I found it funny as right after they talk about "reality".

I agreed with them on some things like surveillance and AI, and disagreed on others.

That being said, the movie bored me.

The acting was great, Samantha Morton is always a win.

The soundtrack was great.

The movie received mixed reviews, and grossed 40.424 dollars at the box office.

Viewer discretion is advised, as the movie depicts graphic scenes.

Also, the movie is a documentary, sort of, sold as a Sci Fi, with investigative journalists talking about authoritarianism, billionaires, technology and data collection.

 

The movie has so many news scenes, it even has scenes of Morton from her other movies, like Minority Report,tricking us into thinking that's her character in this movie!

The dystopic world they created had potential, the rest, not so much ,especially since I was not looking to watch a left leaning documentary!

The documentary is with subscription on Max, Max on Amazon Prime Channel, and for rent / sale on Amazon, AppleTv, Fandango at Home.

Rating : Could have been a contender!
