{4\/5} “As far as the brain is concerned, fantasy and reality are chemically identical.”<\/p>\n

OtherLife<\/strong>, released in 2017<\/p>\n

Ren is a co-founder and programmer at OtherLife, a company that’s developing software that gives you a new memory — of a perfect day. She’s also testing it on herself, and it doesn’t always work right. They’re racing around the clock to meet a launch date. Ren’s business partner is trying to get funding but she doesn’t like the source. Meanwhile, Ren’s brother is in a coma due to an accident. <\/p>\n

This is an Australian movie.<\/p>\n

The story is suspenseful, and the main characters are terrific.<\/p>\n

Stars Jessica De Gouw. Directed by Ben C. Lucas (Wasted on the Young<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

Spoiler alert<\/strong><\/p>\n
