High Maintenance

About This Movie

High Maintenance is an intriguing blend of comedy and drama set in a not-so-distant future where personal relationships have taken a weird turn. The film dives into the complexities of love and expectation through the lens of a woman dealing with her robotic husband's shortcomings. There's this interesting tension between the absurdity of the premise and the genuine emotional beats—it's not just about the tech, but how it reflects on human flaws. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it creates this unique rhythm that keeps you engaged. Practical effects are modest yet effective, grounding the narrative. Performances are solid, capturing that blend of humor and melancholy beautifully. It's a notable exploration of what we seek in companionship and how those desires can evolve—or devolve.
