About This Movie

So, 'Motherboard' is this intriguing blend of fantasy and sci-fi directed by Hayden Franklin. It really dives into the conflict of tech addiction through the lens of motherhood. Lesley, the main character, feels super relatable as she struggles to balance her responsibilities and her yearning for technology. The atmosphere is kind of surreal, with practical effects that give the film a unique edge—like they were crafted with care. The pacing can feel a bit off-kilter, but it serves the story well, emphasizing her spiral into obsession. The performances, especially from the lead, add a layer of authenticity, making you feel her inner turmoil. It’s not your typical family drama, and that’s what makes it stand out.

Interesting take on motherhood and technology.Practical effects enhance the fantasy elements.Uneasy pacing that mirrors the protagonist's conflict.
