Virtue

About This Movie

Virtue is a quirky blend of comedy and sci-fi that echoes the surreal storytelling of The Twilight Zone. The film's atmosphere is a strange mix of dark humor and existential exploration, especially as we follow a woman grappling with her husband's bizarre death. The auto-erotic asphyxiation scene is memorable, albeit graphic, and sets the tone for her subsequent quest for a virtual-reality companion – the so-called 'man chip.' It's intriguing to see how the film tackles themes of grief and identity with its offbeat humor and practical effects that feel dated yet charming. Performances fluctuate, but there’s a certain rawness that gives it character, making it a distinctive piece tucked away in the 90s indie scene.
