A date that goes off the script

7/10

"Nothing in this sci-fi short film is what it seems. Essentially, we're witnessing a new type of date faker-one so unexpected and futuristic that you won't see it coming. It's only after strange things start happening that we begin to sense there's something unusual and deeper going on beneath the surface. The use of Tourette syndrome and its tics is an ingenious idea-nothing entirely new or unseen before (consider, for example, Total Recall), but very well executed and perfectly fitting for the setting. Nice acting across the board!..."
