Larry-R

This is a movie primarily about a small group of people and their interactions and relationships, essentially a psychodrama, with the key contextual element that everyone has some degree of memory loss. Given that, I didn't find it slow or boring, and I thought the execution was fine.

In a post-apocalpytic setting where there is a toxin in the atmosphere which causes memory loss, there has been a greenhouse which can produce enough oxygen to support at most six people, who belong to what is some combination of cult and family, where the six people with partial memory loss maintain their perceived grasp on reality by assiduously perpetuating an origin story about themselves whose veracity becomes progressively more apparent over the course of the movie.

If the teenage son of the owner of a local news station had to do a term paper for a first year philosophy class, and the news station owner decided it might get a better grade if it was a video, and told the crew at the station to make it, the video might come out something like "Amelia 2.0".

It's difficult to compare it to a movie or even a TV show because nowadays those almost always have relatively skilled professionals working on them, even if they have no talent. Regardless, the video addresses an interesting topic, but not in any meaningful way, and without the usual dramatic elements of fiction, even at the level of a docudrama or biopic.

It does have some competent professional actors, but they weren't given actual characters to portray, so it's sort of like they walked in off the street and were given lines to read. The editing was pretty tight though.
