In a not too implausible near future, as neural implants become more of a potential "thing" for implementation, new markets are explored, reaching into the murky world of parenting. It is here than an already neurotic mom incessantly worried bout any little thing her daughter might get into uses this new implant tech to hover and control every aspect of her existence. Gee, what could possibly go wrong?
Remarkably well acted, a truly unique approach to the general concept of what might be regarded as "neurological sovereignty", a topic which has been expanded upon in numerous sci-fi films, but noting quite like this. What makes this production interesting is that it's entirely relatable, not in some wildly futuristic fantasy world, but as a very down to earth "what would happen if" scenario, that many parents could readily identify with.
Some might argue that the tech portrayed is too unrealistic, this could "never happen". Well, maybe, but that's not really the message of the film. Some variations of this concept already exists in small increments, this is just a few layers above that. Interestingly, this "experimental" tech is eventually discontinued (no spoiler here), which in itself is a compelling statement of intrusive tech development progressing far ahead of its potential consequences being recognized.
Well acted and paced to keep the story compelling, but with subtle nuances woven into the main fabric of this production.
A very solid 9, this transcends the "usual suspects" type of neurotech centric sci-fi.
