Talking to Control

About This Movie

Talking to Control is an intriguing slice of near-future science fiction that dives deep into themes of autonomy and communication. Set in a not-so-distant Italy, it presents this eerie ambiance where the neural global communication system, 'Control', dictates the lives of everyone. Hera, the protagonist, possesses this drive to reclaim her independence, which evokes a mix of tension and hope throughout the film. The pacing can be a bit uneven, but it feeds into that disoriented feeling the characters experience. The atmosphere is thick with paranoia and the performances—though from lesser-known actors—carry this raw energy that feels refreshing. There's definitely a DIY spirit in the practical effects that adds a distinct charm, setting it apart from more polished offerings in the genre.
