A Better You

About This Movie

A Better You presents this intriguing mix of fantasy and romance, all wrapped in a gritty neo-steampunk aesthetic. The film dives into some pretty heavy themes about identity and self-worth, which I found quite gripping. The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, but it adds to that dreamlike quality. Douglas, the lead, is portrayed with a sense of vulnerability that really resonates. The practical effects used for the carbon clone are fascinating—there's something about the tactile nature that CGI just can’t capture. It creates a unique atmosphere that feels both eerie and oddly charming, a nice juxtaposition to the romantic plotline. Definitely a film that lingers in your mind long after watching.
