Review of Aporia

Aporia (2023)
10/10
Emotional, smart and thought provoking
29 September 2023
I really enjoyed this. Went in expecting a Black Mirror episode, but was pleasantly surprised by film's emotional heft. Starting with a fascinating "what if" premise, in the hands of a character-focused director, the story manages to steer clear of the obvious sci-fi tropes, opting instead to dive into the emotional human aspect. The result is a story with more than a handful of unexpected twists and emotionally riveting scenes, which lands like a gut punch. Judy gives an incredibly moving performance. I loved her in this. Also loved seeing parts of Los Angeles not typically shown. Strongly recommend.
