Nine Films About Technology

Concur with the other review; stumbled upon this and is very brilliant. Put together well, short 10 min episodes hit the nail on the head with technology and its pros/cons. I am currently bumping the rating to 9 stars due to the creativity, relevance and there's nothing bad about this at all. Well done!!

While the title is underwhelming, the series is surely not. The idea does feel Black Mirror-ish, but where it differs is it's not set in a not-too-distant future. It's firmly based on how we use technology today. These types of anthologies that are focused and time-constricted stories tend to feel cheaply acted and heavy-handed on social commentary, but NFAT is far from that. It's absolutely relatable to the every day person, or at least very familiar. It delves into how we interact with these devices, in turn, how we interact and lack interaction with each other. All the stories are interconnected in some way and show an unfiltered view of how we use our smartphones and computers. It deals with everything from vanity, intimacy, racism, isolation, ageism, sexism, catfishing, keeping up with the Jones's, insecurities, scamming, e-currency and more. The acting is on point and the messages are subtle and powerful. The episodes Going Vintage 1&2 had me in my feels a bit and I was not expecting that. Definitely a surprise for something I randomly watched and hope they expand on it.

I am an instant fan of Fiona Fu. She was her character. What a fantastic actress. This is a really touching piece that I could watch for hours on end. I would love to see this extended into a feature, but only if she is in this exact role.

I stumbled into this series, but it turned out to be the best thing I've seen in months! Pretty much every episode is smart, concise, well-written, and seriously funny in one way or another. It tackled some super-heavy subjects with a deft hand and a modern eye. The story about the outhouse blew my f#$&ing mind.

I wasn't expecting this tbh, the acting is great.. The story of each episode is brilliant, i end up smiling after every episode! It's fantastic, I highly recommend watching it.
