    Black Mirror: Beyond the Sea

    ★★★

    Setting aside the fact that I’m not crazy about the premise, this episode would have been much more interesting if it was from the wife’s perspective.

    Not knowing who is inhabiting your husband’s replica at any given time would make for some really meaningful drama and might even instill some of the dread that early Black Mirror was known for.

    As is, the episode is kinda underdeveloped for how long it is. The love triangle between the 3 is decent,…

    ★½

    Reminds me of those really bad essays I used to write in high school English class which my teacher would give me a 70 on.

    Absolutely no focus whatsoever.

Haunting opera music helps maintain the creepy atmosphere and the Magnetic Rose herself is quite unnerving. Has the most to say about the downsides of clinging on to memories, but I love how open to interpretation the ending is.

    There’s not much to say about the movie. It’s just fine. So I thought I’d rate all the songs instead:

    “He Lives in You”- 10/10. Slaps so hard that it ended up in the Top 50 of my Spotify Wrapped last year 🫡

    “We Are One”- 7/10. Solid track. Catchy melody and Simba’s vocals are pretty sweet.

    “My Lullaby”- 3/10. Appropriately named because it put me sleep for 3 minutes.

    “Upendi”- 5/10. Rafiki dropped this mid ass track and then…
