2.0 Lucy

About This Movie

So, '2.0 Lucy' is an intriguing blend of drama, fantasy, and sci-fi, directed by Fenella Greenfield. The film dives into the life of Dr. Michael O'Brien, a palaeoanthropologist facing backlash over his controversial book. It’s got this almost claustrophobic atmosphere as he retreats to the outback with his sister Alyssa and her boyfriend Dante, who are far more carefree. The pacing is a bit uneven, reflecting Michael’s spiraling obsession. The themes of perception versus reality play out in interesting ways, and there's some fascinating practical effects that complement the fantasy elements. The performances are solid, especially in how they capture the tension in familial relationships. It’s distinctive in its exploration of how fringe theories can fracture intellectual credibility.
