Playing at select movie theatres in Canada.
When machines are being used to tell people how to manage the everyday in the the sublime and thoughtful science fiction drama With Love and a Major Organ, sometimes that individual can’t get to live the life the way they want. It’s a problem today’s society may well face if social media platforms and AI get their way. If there are issues to be found, just what this drama reveals can be considered terrifying.
Thankfully, this film is more of a comedy romance than the other genre. Julia Lederer wrote the stage play that’s now a motion picture, and I’m glad she’s in full control of this adaptation. With director Kim Albright to navigate the cinematic version, what’s presented shows just how terribly lost some folks can get when they let technology do all the thinking. The performances are sublime, and a few of the characters we meet look like they’re simply lost in the quagmire known as life.
