Needed to be a Black Mirror Episode...

This nearly 2-hour movie would have made a better 65-minute Black Mirror episode than a full-length foreign art film about the perversion of technology from grief. IDK... I can see how some might like it as an "art film." Me... Not so much... I have never been a fan of foreign filmmakers trying to have political commentaries about society touching on a possible American POV.

Not saying this movie was made strictly for Americans, it clearly isn't but it feels like they tried and with that failed miserably. That is why I said Black Mirror here. If they just would have stayed with the mental health aspects, the perversion of technology and more horror/thriller-based themes the movie might have been better than it actually was.

Now it just comes off as pretentious and morally/sexually sick. But some on here were very arrogant about wanting the film banned and whatnot. That isn't the dumbest thing I read on here in relation to the film lol. Some people were/are just straight nasy and added nothing but name calling at each other. Probably why I hardly ever come on here anymore.

But it's whatever. It's a 10-11-year-old film now and they tend to talk about perverting tech with cloning all the time in films/shows now. If it would have been more Black Mirror style this might have had a shot at being decent.

This whole thing was executed wrong and sloppy and that is why it sort of doesn't make much sense on the narrative but that is what I took away from it too. She is a virgin this whole time. She longed for her long-lost love. They finally meet up as adults. A day or 2 later he passes in the accident. At that point, she has emotionally checked out. She immediately goes back into the jeep not being able to properly process his passing.

Since this is "sci/fi" they introduce cloning as an option with almost no real explanation as to why/how this is a thing in this low-tech narrative. We could have used some visual clues that this is a technologically evolved society. Maybe like the teddy bear from A.I. Something "advanced" to show us humans are very capable with tech but lack normal human skills like grieving a lover.

This movie really needed a Black Mirror and/or American Horror/take to it and maybe a cohesive script... Now it just looks like a very misunderstood, artsy, weird sexual tension film.
