      Stephen Dalton The Film Verdict Amanda Kramer's debut documentary trawls classic sci-fi and cyberpunk cinema seeking cautionary clues about our current age of digital dystopia. Mar 10, 2024 Full Review Erik Childress Movie Madness Podcast A cinematic essay that tries to oversell its thesis but still feels like an unformed collection of notes from an eager student that almost tries to blame the movies for our complacence towards A.I. while also ignoring one timely and telling title. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 15, 2023 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots This documentary feels overstuffed and is somewhat laborious to sit through, especially when paired with Debbie Harry’s sleepy narration, but cinephiles and fans of science fiction should really get a kick out of it. Oct 9, 2023 Full Review Nadine Whitney AWFJ.org So Unreal is a remarkable philosophical visual essay which delves deep into the psychology of cinema and audiences. Oct 4, 2023 Full Review DarkSkyLady DarkSkyLady Reviews Through clips and Debbie Harry’s (Blondie) soothing voice echoing like an omniscient being, So Unreal crafts a bewitching, inescapable world of sci-fi cinema and societal glitches. Oct 1, 2023 Full Review Germain Lussier io9.com A fast-paced history lesson filled with warming nostalgia, kick-ass film recommendations, and heady ideas, all sprinkled with just a dash of fear and inevitability.
