WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In the near future, where technology has paved the way for a growth in artificial intelligence, 86-year-old Marjorie (Smith) acquires a new companion in the form of a holographic representation of her deceased husband Walter (Hamm), which is programmed to feed the story of her life back to her…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

A subtle cross between Her and Black Mirror, Marjorie Prime is a soulful and often touching look at the ever-growing relationship between humans and technology, and how it can allow us to revisit our past and make peace with the things we left behind.
