The concept might have seemed promising initially, but experiencing it on screen reveals a lifeless and surprisingly slow-moving narrative. Nicholas Hoult portrays a character who spends an inordinate amount of time taking showers – a detail that feels intentionally obscure – living a rigidly structured existence as something akin to a robot. His days are defined by monotonous repetition; his clothing, meals, and sleep patterns are all precisely the same. The introduction of "Nia," played by Kristen Stewart, sparks a brief connection between them, though the progression felt drawn out. It’s eventually revealed that their circumstances stem from some larger philosophical issue, with humanity restricting nearly every aspect of life – including intimacy. Will they manage to escape these subtle but pervasive limitations? I imagine you can guess. The film unfolds at an incredibly slow pace. The music doesn't contribute much in the way of energy to what is ultimately a rather unremarkable experience. Even the scene intended to convey intense emotion seems more about showcasing the cinematographer’s ability to keep it rated U than genuinely portraying the characters’ supposed feelings for each other. While the production values are impressive, the dialogue is minimal; their surroundings make their conversations as captivating as their romantic encounters, and I found myself feeling restless throughout.
