9/10
Where does Lapsis lead to?

Warning: Spoilers
It is a different movie. It is not for everyone. The world of Lapsis is different. It is a strange 90s/early 2000 world shaken by strange technology. People have strange, pointless jobs, everything feels a bit absurd and superficial.

The main character starts working as a "cabler" which is a combination of hiking and connecting various cables between large metal boxes which represent quantum servers. Lots of people do that, get sucked in into this for years. Form groups, settlements, friendships and rivalries. It does seem a bit strange, weird, yet fitting in this strange parallel world.

If you are familiar with cult movies Napoleon Dynamite, Gentlemen Broncos, Art School Confidential, The Sasquatch Gang, The Lobster, Vivarium and a few similar ones - this will also become one of your all time favorites. It's a must watch in this case. I overused a word "strange" on purpose.

I hope everyone can try to enjoy this masterpiece, as it was a pleasant surprise. I am very glad I watched it and will be able to add it into a list of my all time favorites. Solid 8 or 9 in the genre of weird movies.
