Advantageous (2015)

A mother tries to stay close to her daughter at the same time as increasing her efforts to maintain her career at a level that helps them continue living a normal life.

'Advantageous' is a sci-fi drama that touches on interesting themes. The future is described in a more realistic way, with elements of current reality as the main driver of life's direction and decisions (attention to the new, fashionable, young at the expense of quality), and problematic futuristic elements as apparent solutions to individual dramas (extending life in ways that are convienently vague). The film is sad and discouraging.

Director:  Jennifer Phang   
With: Jacqueline Kim, James Urbaniak, Freya Adams, Ken Jeong

Rating: 8/10
