Simulation

About This Movie

Simulation dives deep into the psyche of Oliver, an office worker whose mundane life spirals into a VR fantasy that starts to feel more real than reality itself. The pacing is somewhat deliberate, allowing the atmosphere of isolation to really settle in, which is enhanced by some clever practical effects that make the VR world visually engaging. The performances, particularly from the unknown director’s cast, carry an unsettling weight that really drives home the themes of escapism and obsession. You can feel the tension build as Oliver’s fixation on Gal and the manipulative nature of Tommy create a complex emotional landscape that challenges the viewer’s perception of reality.

This film has had a limited release, sparking interest among collectors who appreciate its unique take on VR narratives. The scarcity of physical formats, particularly special editions, has increased its desirability. There’s a clear buzz around its exploration of psychological themes, making it a point of discussion in collector circles, especially for those who enjoy films that challenge perceptions.
