The Assessment 2024 HDRip.DVD9 Magnet

41/27

In a near future where parenting is strictly controlled, a couple’s seven-day custody evaluation turns into a psychological nightmare. There are two Easter eggs from Rice University. The Evaluation is a sci-fi drama starring Elizabeth Olsen and Himesh Patel as Mia and Aaryan, a couple who want a child in the future is given a 7-day test by an evaluator (Alicia Viklander) who makes the test possible and if not . slip-ups happen, the baby will be gifted, but the expectant parents find this to be more difficult than they expected. The strong acting and unique premise are empowering. The Evaluation is something I really didn’t expect in terms of plot, but I think it was brilliantly done. The film is set in the format of days 1-7 and each one is as different and engaging as the next. Honestly, I was expecting this to reuse sci-fi tropes from the past, but I have to say this is so original and unexpected that I thought it was super well done! The way it all comes together and what the couple has to do is so well imagined that this might be the most likely reason for having children in a world affected by climate change. The performances don’t disappoint, Elizabeth Olsen and Himesh Patel were so good that they probably could have been on their own with a completely different storyline and it would have been just as fascinating. But Alicia Viklander is also very good and honestly she’s very good in the whole sci-fi genre and it was a pleasure to see her here. Everyone involved did their best and I really appreciate that in a film that doesn’t really rely on CGI to be as creative as it is. However, the film is graphic in places with the sex and Alicia’s disturbing interactions. Viklander’s character acting like a child in an older woman’s body gave me a Poor Man’s vibe. But it doesn’t really matter and is essential to the plot, but this is definitely for an older audience and I can definitely imagine this being an easy R or 18/18 in the UK if anyone is interested. , while some of the characters don’t have much of a resolved plot line, the ones that do are created and presented so well that it’s hard to find anything bad about the review. You definitely need to go see it when it comes out in mid-2025. I highly recommend this amazing and creative work of art when it hits cinemas. Rating: A+ London Film Festival 19th October.
