A marriage undergoes the ultimate test--neither infidelity nor a faded flame, but the allure of technology. With incredible intimacy, filmmaker Susanna Cappellaro documents her husband Scott's decision to have an extrasensory device implanted into his body in order to increase his awareness of the world around him. As Scott goes further down this path, he can't understand his wife's resistance. And while Cappellaro documents herself struggling to understand their changing life, what might have been a science fiction becomes all the more human.

Leslie Felperin Guardian As a documentary about the world of body modification, it’s somewhat superficial and doesn’t really get under the skin, as it were... But the slow collapse of their relationship is oddly compelling -- if a bit sad -- to watch. Rated: 3/5 Feb 12, 2025 Full Review MontiLee Stormer MovieReelist.com Upon first blush, this would seem like a cute couple’s project as they explore a new world of sensations on an intellectual and physical level. As it continues, it begins to feel mean-spirited and not as supportive as the synopsis would have you believe. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Bethan Ackerley New Scientist At times, My Husband, the Cyborg feels like being trapped at a dinner party with the most exhausting couple you know. But the longer the experiment runs, the better the film gets. This very modern... love story makes for fraught and fascinating viewing. Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
