Did you watch it? What did you think? I like the sound of it but that IMDB score is below my usual threshold for watching

It's mostly a collection of found news footage, shots lifted from other dystopian films, and a low-budget self-narrated life of a silent women of the future living in the rubble of a mall in San Fransisco. The future fiction parts feel over the top coming from September 2022 when it was announced, or even October 2024 when it was released, but in July 2025 it definitely hits different.

The documentary parts take up the lion's share of the run-time, and are relevant to our role as citizen news aggregators. It puts the right-wing news actors and politicians in their proper context, and is a good summary of what we're up against.

Thanks. That sounds decent. Would you recommend?

For the documentary aspects of it, yeah.

I just finished it myself, and I'd say it's absolutely worth watching. The documentary bits are very compelling and well edited.
