This is a well-made, thought-provoking movie set in the near future. It’s the sort of science fiction that feels closer to science than fiction.

Rated: 3/5

Despite its intriguing premise about ageism and buying 'time,' Boris Kunz's dystopian thriller soon becomes formulaic and forgettable.

Rated: 4/10

This is an entertaining and thoughtful dystopian sci-fi about aging and the vast chasm between the very rich and the very poor.

In its more serious moments warns us how revolting things can get when the people of science greedily sell their souls for capitalistic gain.

Very slow. Had an interesting premise, and could have been an awesome moral dilemma if it wasn't so obvious who's the bad guy here. Best parts of the movie were the 2 sec of boobs you see.

Who is wrong and who is right? I loved this, and teaches that maybe what you think is fine is probably the completely opposite. The 2 hours felt short. Excellent movie.
