Maniaectomia is a striking exploration of love and emotional detachment packaged in a near-future setting. The film grapples with the chilling premise of a corporation, MANICTOM, pushing a chip that suppresses feelings as a response to a viral outbreak. Cora's journey, trying to save her wife Marcelle from the virus's grip, creates a palpable tension that permeates the narrative. The atmosphere is both dystopian and intimate, with practical effects that ground the sci-fi elements in reality. Performances are raw and heartfelt, especially from the leads, who navigate the murky waters of love in a world that seeks to strip it away. It’s the kind of film that lingers, prompting reflection on what it means to truly feel.
