Review of Anesthesia (2016) by Roxanne D — 07 Feb 2016

Anesthesia wove together multiple existential axioms, but didn't examine the implications. So while a graduate student pines about loneliness and distraught disharmony between herself and the world, it sounds more like an excuse to be alone and passive, than a justification for the latter.

Everyone longs for something basically attainable, but they can't bring themselves to overcome themselves. They have been anesthetized by themselves. They are cowards. And when they finally decide to do something courageous, turns out it's too late.

Because time is of the essence in this world. With that said, the film does make an impact. Most people suffer from suffocating complacency and cowardice, and we only have so much time to mend it before it's too late.

And there comes a time when it is in fact too late.
