It's pretty much like a feature length black mirror episode focusing on a dystopian near-future where celebrity obsession has gone too far. Very well filmed and the acting is captivating. Totally worth the watch.
It was a very solid premise and extremely good concept but it was incredibly slow for me all the way through. I agree with the one reviewer that it was very Black Mirror in style.

A really good concept that could’ve been great but it’s so hard to follow and gets quite confusing and unrealistic (even for horror)
