The film recently played this year’s Sundance Film Festival and our reviews editor Scott J Davis watched it. He gave it 5 stars describing the film as a  “a celebratory, inspiring, and exhilarating love letter to the power of humanity, technology, and the uneasy relationship in the middle“.

When it comes to sci-fi usually don’t usually push your emotions to the max and that’s what intrigues us about this one. The relationship between humanity and technology is uniquely terrifying that both possess memories. Soulful, delicate, evocative tale that fans of Tarkovsky and Malick will watch with delight.
