Connie Lynn (2022)
10/10
A fairly early contender for the best film of the year
7 September 2022
Connie Lynn is a perfect film. It delivers on acting, writing, directing, cinematography, sound, everything. Every single decision feels calculated, almost as if AI even directed the film. It balances being authentic and being artificial at the same time by reminding us of our own humanity, while also reminding us how we can be just as fake because we don't present the most authentic versions of ourselves. We do everything based on how others feel. Our own reality is heavily augmented and we've gone so far that we can escape from the sadness of real life on a daily basis. We've all spoken to ghosts at some point and felt warmth when it wasn't really there, and we've also spoken to humans that feel like they're the ones in another world. Time and time again, we're reminded of our own mortality and how our destiny is ambiguous. Who defines where we go?

This film was meant to come out in 2022. It's a product of its time and yet it's ahead of it. People will remember this for several years to come, and I hope everyone reading this review who was still wondering whether or not they should see it will actually give it a chance.
