A rare kind of depth and sweetness permeates throughout the new film from director Cory Finley (Thoroughbreds), the sci-fi comedy Landscape with Invisible Hand. Set in 2030, the story chronicles two ambitious, well-meaning teenagers who create a risky plan to ensure their families' futures. That suggests trouble is afoot. And there is.
Earth has been occupied by an alien species whose bureaucratic ways and advanced technology — they pretty much think humans are one big reality show and AI has taken over— leaves many citizens unemployed and impoverished. Artistic teen Adam (Asante Blackk of When They See Us) wants to help his mother (Tiffany Haddish), so he agrees to have his “love story” with Chloe (Kylie Rogers of Beau Is Afraid and Yellowstone) tracked on a social media platform so that the aliens can toss him some cash. The dilemma? Adam and Chloe dig each other, but they’re not “in love.
