Look at Me (2019) explores a near-future where VR addiction runs rampant, and it’s more than just a backdrop. The film’s atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating, reflecting the characters' disconnection. Zhang is a fascinating lead, grappling with this addiction while dealing with a girlfriend who's lost in her own digital world. Their dates, once filled with affection, now feel cold and distant. The pacing drags at times, but it mirrors Zhang's own spiraling mental state. There’s an unsettling realism in the performances; you can feel the weight of their struggles. What stands out here is how it tackles themes of intimacy and isolation in a tech-dominated society. It’s not flashy, but it hits hard, and there's a certain rawness that lingers with you.
