Muse

About This Movie

Muse (2015), or Clew as some might call it, offers a rather eerie dive into the psyche of Jack Hadrian, a painter in a not-so-distant future. The atmosphere is thick with tension and isolation, perfectly mirroring Jack's emotional turmoil after his fiancée vanishes. The pacing has this unsettling rhythm that keeps you on edge, and the ethical quandaries of AI relationships are explored in a way that feels both unsettling and thought-provoking. The practical effects used for the Muse are striking, giving a tangible quality to the science fiction elements. Performances are nuanced, particularly the lead, whose descent from hope to despair is palpable. It’s the kind of film that lingers, inviting discussion.
