Iris

About This Movie

Iris (2015) has this peculiar vibe, a mix of crime and surreal fantasy that’s hard to shake off. The whole premise centers on a guy named Dave who’s in a pretty grim situation—burying a body, no less. But he’s got this Nextphone model, Iris, that has a blinking eye on the screen, and it’s like this eerie, almost sentient presence. The conversations they have while digging are where the film really shines; it’s got this strange blend of dark humor and existential musings. The pacing’s a bit slow, but it suits the atmosphere, creating tension in such a mundane act. The practical effects aren’t flashy, but they keep that gritty feel intact. It’s an interesting piece, definitely distinct in its approach to technology and morality.
