Review of Bliss (2021) by Anduman — 09 Feb 2021

Eternal Matrix of the Spotless Mind.

This film currently has a low rating (38 critic, 5.4 user) and many bad reviews. But I've read some these reviews, and all of the bad ones and even some of the good ones - misunderstood the film or didn't understand it fully. I can see this film becoming cult in the future.

This film explores and exploits the idea of the unreliable narrator to the maximum. It poses so many questions, answers them, but then takes away the answer. It keeps the two far sides of the possibility so precisely balanced and strong, that you could tie a string in-between, and the tension would be literally palpable. The tension that keeps guessing and wondering the entire film, until the Very Last Second.

This film is incredibly dystopian but also incredibly utopian at the same time, and you can't help but feel for the only unlucky bastard in the world, who might know the absolute truth.
