"Mercy" is a Pro-AI Sci-Fi Thriller that Barely Makes Sense
Even without the messaging, Mercy does not hold up as a movie. It's sloppily done and the mystery doesn’t tie together at the end.
Dreamland
Comprised entirely of archival footage from U.S. propaganda and home videos sourced from the public domain, this film is an open letter to the place of dreams - what it has been, and what it could be. The associated poem, “Dreamland,” addresses the complicated history of the role American idealism played in covering up global decimation. There is a communal longing for a simpler time, but what does that time actually refer to? How can we remember and examine the past to forge a better future?
