6/10
It's certainly a ride!

It's certainly a bizarre watch, and it wasn't what I was expecting when I sat down to watch it. Like the computer having sex with her whilst she still writes? Then her giving birth whilst she still continues to write? I was expecting it to have a "Black Mirror" but make it artsy message. Especially with her black fingers. But actually it reminds me of something closer to "Please Stand By".

I'm glad I gave it a shot, and watched it through to the end, because honestly I think the ending was really actually quite sweet, and I think something many people can relate too. When her actual works saves a super fan of hers, and the writer is happy that her work touches someone in the right way. That's really not how I was expecting that arch to go.

If I'm honest I don't think some of the weirder touches add, or take away from the film. I think overall whilst I personally enjoyed it, I think it's going to be an acquired taste.
