Paradise

an interesting premise with strong political through lines, but the character work felt rather mediocre

ger; [paradise]; in einer zukunft kann man lebenszeit übertragen und eine frau hat für die versicherung der wohnung ihre Lebenszeit verpfändet, doch ein Feuer wirft die lebensplanung von ihrem mann und ihr über den Haufen.; (hartes thema);

It's bleak, and a bit bland to be honest.

The premise is OKish, the acting sub par, the story sub par, too cliche and very mediocre film.

Note to myself: Add to RYM.

Really nice beginning and with a few nice twists, but characters are kind of flat. Ending does not feel well thought out.

Another remake of SECONDS: here the technology is more clearly metaphorical (the wealthy drain the life out of the poor and add it to their own). But what starts as a promising, slightly intriguing tale of the convergence of biotechnology, inequality and marketing too quickly turns into a very run-of-the-mill, standardised thriller populated with uninteresting characters. Leaves open the possibility of a sequel, but this just seems like the filmmakers crossing their fingers for a bit more work.
