The Corruptor (1999)

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman will be happiest if she marries a man with a good fortune, similar upbringing, matching attractiveness levels, and compatible politics.

KIMI is the main character of this film and as much as I wish it was Angela Childs played by Zoe Kravitz, it isn't. KIMI is a smart device that works not unlike Amazon's Alexa and Google's Nest assisting in anything from home purchases to music playing all under the guise of only activating when in use.

This film manages to be simultaneously topical and timeless. Without being preachy, it highlights society’s flawed relationship with tech; insights into the complex ideas of family struggle are expertly dispersed among a perfectly paced and balanced story.

Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony-winning musical translates beautifully to the screen.

A pampered dog who gets lost and has to learn to live on his own while being flexible with surroundings.

Tara Thorne’s film is equal parts emotional and comedic, illustrating the beauty and the pain of long term relationships.
