Where to Watch Black Mirror - S7 • E3
- Jonojude28 de octubre de 2025True fans of B.M. won't be disappointed, as although the immersive-temple-trick isn't anything new, I felt that this angle was quite original and had quite the plot. Loved the camera work and great acting always helps too! Perhaps I went in with low expectations, due to the oervall low reviews, but this is deffo in my Top 10 Black Mirrors.
- Scott Phelps13 de abril de 2025A fantastic performance from Emma Carrin is the saving grace of another episode of Black Mirror that falls far from the heights of it's earlier years. An episode akin to the progression of an AI inspired relationship seen in San Junipero (sharing similar homosexual romantic themes) unfortunately fails to expand what could be a really connecting episode for the audience to it's "AI movie" characters. ***Spoiler*** I feel disappointed this episode didn't dive further into the torment and ultimate cause of suicide for Dorothy; her repression of homosexual romantic feelings in an era where it were taboo. Instead, it was briefly shown to the audience in a gimmicky montage and then eradicated once "connection" to the outside studio servers was established again by a simple "reboot". Expansion once the forth wall acknowledgement from Dorothy of living within a movie yet still being in love with Brandy would have allowed an audience to connect with the heartbreak further along the line. Empathising with how Dorothy was born an era too soon to allow her to be "truly" herself with her sexuality (reflecting on the other movie characters having simply no problem with Brandy's character being a "black woman" nor a female love interest - something that our modern society has accepted). How the studio employees reached such sadness to cry at the final retold scene and death of Clara is beyond me and frankly absurd. Their feed to the continuous "second life" and romantic bond that Dorothy and Brandy had was cut, they couldn't observe it. If anything they should have all felt relief at Brandy delivering her final line, allowing them to bring her consciousness back safely and a disconnect between themselves and Brandy on her return - as none of them understand why she was distraught clutching at a deceased Clara.
