It’s premiering at SXSW next week:
>Set in the not so distant future when poor air quality leads to people living mostly virtually lives. Carol (Banks) is a dissatisfied career mother, struggling to find connection within her marriage to Gary (Reilly) and her child. With the day to day familiarity of their home and lives feeling increasingly claustrophobic, and worried she could be heading towards divorce, Carol leaps at the chance to get her life back on track by signing up for “DreamQuil”, an avant-garde digital wellness retreat. When Carol returns home however, she discovers her family has been living with “Carol 2”, a robot the corporation sent designed to help in her absence, and things take a mysterious and sinister turn.
>Cast: Elizabeth Banks, John C. Reilly, Juliette Lewis, Sofia Boutella, Kathryn Newton, Lamorne Morris, Toby Larsen, Anna Marie Dobbins
Elizabeth Banks plus John C. Reilly in a body horror digital wellness story sounds like a perfect slow nightmare.
The near future air quality angle feels too real too.
Are we thinking this will be more gross and surreal, or more Black Mirror creepy.
elizabeth banks looks so different, hard to believe that she’s actually 52
The imagery is reminding me of The Zero Theorem!
Who does Elizabeth Banks have dirt on? She gets wayyy more work than seems natural.
Surprised they could keep the name of the film.
Anything with Elizabeth Banks is a hard pass.
ok the concept of people escaping into perfect virtual lives sounds cool until i remember how addicted i already get to regular games… i feel like i’d be the first person accidentally signing up for the creepy retreat just because the ad looked relaxing 😭
living mostly virtually lives?
I Recall this reference, Totally!
