Great indy future-sci-fi, only problem is that it is more real than fiction, and already happening in the present day. Our so-called "reality" is already manipulated, virtual, and fictional (an endless feed of lies, propaganda and disinformation disguised as personal interaction, News, Information, and Entertainment), and most people already cannot tell the difference. Overly optimistic portrayal of human motivations & outcomes in the film, but it's forgivable. Nothing wrong with living in a fake reality; real reality mostly sucks anyway. In a world where real happiness doesn't exist, you might as well just grab your favorite form of artificial happiness (love, food, drugs, pseudointellectualism, pseudoactivism, pseudosuperiority, cross-dressing, fishing, driving too fast, videogames, whatever floats your boat!), and hold onto it with both hands; you aren't missing anything special by leaving the real world behind, and the real world isn't missing you either. All "reality" is already virtual, so it doesn't deserve any more effort from you than to be a shallow, virtual, facsimile of a person, which you already are. None of the world or the people around you are real, so why should you be real? It's not worth the effort. A fake person is the only kind of person who can thrive in a fake reality. 9/10.
