Shallow as an hologram
Aurelien - wrote on 12/30/18
I think I was mislead by the blurb. I expected a movie about an old woman suffering from dementia, and having an hologram of her deceased husband as companion to help her battle against her illness. I expected sci-fi. I expected romance. I expected strong questioning on how technologies might alter relationships; especially our dealing with the frail and sick. Instead of that, well...
Don't get me wrong! It all starts exactly as it says on the tin. But then... It just goes downhill as far as I am concerned. All the characters seem to die at some point. All end up with an hologram of each others to keep it through. And, to top it all, all appear to be mixed up around some background family history which is quite boring yet twisted (e.g. a son who died by suicide long ago...).
Maybe it was too ambitious? Maybe it's just plain pretentious? Thing is, I found it very boring (soporific) with a plot that had nothing to grip me and, even more disappointing for a sci-fi movie, no food for thought whatsoever. Just not good for me.
