The Assessment
The Assessment
6.6
Set in a world destroyed by climate change. Part of society has created a parallel world for itself. Life is controlled and optimized, and the desire to have children is also not left to chance. The lives of a successful young couple are therefore put under close scrutiny by a female assessor over the course of seven days.

This is a perplexing one for me as I generally love these type of high-concept sci-fi movies. The world-building is solid, the cinematography is on point, and the performances across the board are impressive, especially Vikander and Olsen. However, while The Assessment proposes some interesting questions and explores them to a point, it also contradicts itself at times. While it held my attention throughout due to the wild nature of its premise, it left me wanting more in the end.
