Why so much hype?
Good concept, poorly executed.
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
An interesting movie about the necessity to control everyone in a society more and more attached to the web. On one side the ideal of a perfect democracy and transparency, on the other the abuse of control and violation of privacy. It is a well done movie and an opportunity to think about the world in which we are living, but also the direction that we are taking, sometimes loosing the sense of the reality. Emma Watson is always a great actress, the plot is good, the idea original. I liked it.
Un film digne d'un épisode de Black Miror, un peu long au début mais intéressant
Lots of reviews saying it's "shallow" etc... I don't know how people could be so oblivious to the fact that this is the world we're walking into - although I guess I work with these kind of platforms as a profession, so maybe I see more into it than most people.Maybe not "political manipulation", but we're moving into a world where I believe politics will be less important, and the big tech companies like Google and Apple will be running the show a lot more.I was going to give this a 10/10, but then it didn't end properly... It just sort of stopped. So sadly, I feel the writers could have done a far better job in actually finishing the movie off.Very interesting movie though, and probably not too far off what our near future will be like.
The film has all the likeness to a Black Mirror episode but is no where near on par.
