About This Movie

This documentary is a fascinating exploration of digital identity and race. The structure is unique—it's essentially a performance piece where the director uses Google’s search algorithm as a lens. Each year adds layers to the conversation, revealing societal expectations and biases. The pacing feels methodical, almost hypnotic, as it ascends from innocence to the complexities of adolescence. What’s striking is how the searches highlight the algorithm’s influence, making it a commentary on how young Black girls are perceived. It feels raw and unsettling at times, as it taps into deep cultural narratives. The atmosphere is both clinical and personal, drawing you into this strange intersection of technology and identity.
