After watching Empathy, Inc., an eccentric white-collar crime thriller, it is clear that this film was a success in immersive filmmaking! This film deserves recognition for its brilliant commentary on class struggles in today's current society. Director Yedidya Gorsetman's modern twist to the infamous neo-noir style provides a fresh take on the duality of humanity, taking the film to another level entirely. The film follows Joel (Zack Robidas), a failed venture capitalist, after a multi-million dollar work scandal forces him to the east coast in an attempt to escape his past. On this journey, Joel runs into a new dilemma involving black market technology - XVR. This new technology accentuates the recurring controversy of class struggles through the classic body-switching concept common in sci-fi films and gives the audience a smartly calibrated glimpse into the life of the underprivileged. Gorsetman opens up the possibility for new ways to think with clever neo-noir cinematic choices embedded in Empathy, Inc., symbolizing the light and dark of social class. This compelling and engrossing sci-fi thriller's astute social commentary deserves a standing ovation and is a well-crafted must see!
