Advantageous (2015)

Advantageous is a 2015 science fiction film. I watched it on Netflix.

trailer:


Wired calls it a "A Dystopian Film That's Packed With Hope". Hollywood Reporter says, "it casts a peculiarly bewitching spell and has ambition to burn". Gizmodo calls it "An Insanely Good Movie That Everyone Should Watch".

Spirituality and Practice says it's "A thought-provoking sci-fi drama about parenting, education, the commodification of women's bodies, and female unemployment."

The Rotten Tomatoes critics consensus is 85%.

    1. The parenting part was difficult. The choices people make...

  6. I had seen this one and it is disturbing. I didn't exactly think of it as a hopeful movie but in a strange way, I guess it is. Does not portend well for women, that's for sure. Power of mother's love...glimmers of hope there. Wanting to be forgiven in the family--yes. Just such a strange concept. Good movies make you ponder. :)

    1. Yeah, that review struck me when I saw it after I'd seen the movie. I'm still not seeing the hope, even looking for it.
