The Assessment

Albeit predictable, this type of film was/is my cup of tea.

Hidden gem worth that is worth watching.

I'm not saying it was great. The pacing wasn't perfect, and the characters could have been more developed, but I feel like this kind of material is essential and needed for the current state of the industry. So, it was worth watching.

A very interesting premise. I was somehow under the impression that I've seen this movie before. That dinner hosting scene was extremely well acted. Good lord, it reminded me why I always tend to invite people "out" to dinner and rarely invite people into my house for dinners or entertainment. 🙄

Interesting enough. Weirdly pro-natalist and anti-natalist at the same time.

Assessing 'The Assessment' was both difficult and depressing. Growing up in a borderline dystopian and selfish world has shown me the importance of parenting and the profound effect it has on our collective environment. It hurts knowing the only way we can improve as a society is through control and enforcement. Yes, the context really is that heavy, and I wouldn't recommend watching if you're not prepared to sit idle through 2hrs worth of mundane yet solemn thematics. 'The Assessment' is an assessment I doubt many of us would pass, as certain as we may be. Olsen, Himesh, and Vikander completely vanish into their roles, and the production is outstanding. Wouldn't mind seeing Minnie and Indira in an 'old world' prequel.

Very psychotic film. Didn't hate it, but very strange at times.
