I had high hopes for this having read about it as one of the most underrated movies of 2023 by a Globe and Mail (Canada) columnist.
First of all, it's supposedly set in 2065 and yet, for the first 45 minutes (which was as long as I could hold out for), it appears to be set in 1965 with the exception of a DeLorean copycat vehicle and some references to futuristic concepts.
"Junior" (why the weird name?) is rather shallow and his part is written very unconvincingly. Hen is portrayed very well, as is the mysterious visitor, so there was some enjoyment of the acting to be had.
However, when the visitor and Hen light up cigarettes (in 2065!) that was enough for me; I'm sick of seeing smoking depicted in movies as 'normal', especially when targeted at women.
