Valentine

The year is 2058 and everyone has a personal Alexa-like AI implanted in their head. Unfortunately for the 17-year-old protagonist, future Alexa seems to be selectively stupid when it comes to understanding human emotions, subtly peer-pressuring her into running off to meet her boyfriend in a dark alley against her mother's express wishes. What could possibly go wrong?

Some viewers may be unsettled by the portrayal of the violent event at the center of the plot (this is not a spoiler as it's clearly spelled out in the synopsis). What I found more unsettling is that ultimately, the violence seems...for lack of a better word, gratuitous. Sure, there is a hint of an underlying message about the ways AI can alter our interpretation of reality or whatever, but it feels too vague and undefined to justify the trauma inflicted on the main character.
