If there were ever to be an award made for a relatable film, then this might just win it for me too. Those bloody "Captcha" screens that tell you to pick out the motor bike and yet never let you on - regardless how many goes you have! It's good to know it's not just me, though, as music producer "Lara" (Ellen Parren) finds herself in exactly the same predicament. Try as she might, it's not having it - it reckons she's clearly not an human. The IT man can't help - indeed his only suggestion is that she might, actually, be a robot! A slight contretemps ensues and that just gets her back to an unrelenting square one. Plan B. There's a questionnaire to fill out - but that's more of a psychological evaluation and the more it goes on the more it, and maybe even she, is convinced she's a bot! "I know, I'll call my boyfriend Daan". Surely he'd know? Assuming she can find somewhere quiet to chat with him, maybe she can become reassured? Then again, perhaps he might just make matters worse. The hand-held photography and the increasingly intrusive digital soundtrack start to help add a degree of intense menace to an already quite enthralling story that requires quite a few deep breaths all round as the ending provides us with quite a few unexpected twists! Worth a watch, I'd say.
