About This Movie

Folly (2021) presents a bleak yet intriguing vision of a future where Sweden's government has shifted entirely to AI control. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the tension to build as the protagonist, a journalist named Folly, inches closer to exposing some unsettling truths. The atmosphere is heavy, almost oppressive, with practical effects that lend an unsettling reality to this high-tech dystopia. The performances, particularly from Folly, are nuanced, capturing the desperation and resolve of someone fighting against an omnipotent system. It's a film that lingers, making you ponder the implications of unchecked technological advancement and the cost of progress. Definitely distinctive in its approach to storytelling and visuals, it’s got that eerie edge that feels all too relevant today.
