Ripped

About This Movie

Ripped is quite an intriguing blend of documentary and sci-fi that piques your curiosity about human nature and our planet. The film follows P3RFEIT0, an otherworldly observer sent to Earth, specifically Brazil, to unravel the motivations behind humanity's desire to escape. The pacing feels a bit off at times, which I think adds to the surreal atmosphere. It’s not just about the mission; it delves into existential themes and societal critiques. The practical effects are minimal but effective, which gives it a grounded feel in contrast to the sci-fi premise. While the direction is a bit obscure—almost intentionally so—the performances, especially from everyday people, bring a raw authenticity that lingers with you.
