{4.5\/5} “Be the you you were meant to be.”<\/p>\n
Advantageous<\/strong>, released in 2015<\/p>\n Gwen has lost her job as spokesperson for a company that has developed a procedure to make people younger — they want a younger spokesperson. The job market is tough, particularly for women, and Gwen is having trouble finding something — in desperation she even calls her mother for help. Gwen then makes the only decision she can to give her daughter Jules what she deserves — she agrees to undergo the procedure so she can get her job back.<\/p>\n Like Midnight Special<\/strong>, this is a low budget science fiction movie. I found the details more interesting in this one.<\/p>\n It’s about the relationship between a woman and her daughter, and it’s about the intersection of limited choices and new technology.<\/p>\n This potential aspect of the future has been explored in books but not many movies yet — this is one to watch.<\/p>\n Stars Jacqueline Kim. Directed by Jennifer Phang (Half-Life<\/strong>). There’s some lovely violin music (played on screen by a man on a park bench) — the music is by Timo Chen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" {4.5\/5} “Be the you you were meant to be.” Advantageous, released in 2015 Gwen has lost her job as spokesperson for a company that has developed a procedure to make people younger — they want a younger spokesperson.
