   At first, you think it’s

   The Stepford Wives

   ... but then it’s

   The Village

   ... but then it’s

   The Matrix

   ... and in the end

   it’s just a waste of time. Each twist is less practical than the previous one and the way they are revealed is very lazy. At that point you don’t care when it sets arbitrary rules like “if you die here, you die in the real world”. Whatever! And the social commentary is so basic, it barely registers. The thing that did bother me was this kinda libertarian commentary on how this one lady actually enjoys her virtual life because she gets to “be” with her dead or non existent children, while in the real world she’s a sex toy... toxic, toxic, toxic. The only good thing is Florence Pugh, who is miles above this material.

   It ALMOST works, but not quite. Behind the scenes shenanigans aside, the movie is technically proficient and features a great performance from Florence Pugh. The plot, though, is a mess of convoluted predictable twists and half-baked ideas.
   
   Olivia Wilde's previous film, Booksmart, was an excellent directorial debut so I was looking forward to this one. Unfortunately, she falls victim to the sophomore slump with an ambitious misfire. Hoping her next film is better, but this time it's a swing and a miss. 1 month 3 weeks ago
