Advantageous (2015)
7/10
Modest sci-fi with things to say
6 August 2021
Presenting a dystopia that's only a small notch away from where society already is (and probably where it's heading) makes it all the more chilling. Primarily an indictment on how capitalism has us painted into a corner, but also making commentary on feminism, ageism, technology and the nature of self, the film has some big things to say and the writing skill to pull it all off. Unfortunately, the budgetary constraints are occasionally evident in some of the effects and performances, though Jacqueline Kim is perfect in the lead. Altogether a slow burn, but very worthwhile to see science fiction being used for such intelligent musings.
