Om den här filmen

PLATO'S REALITY MACHINE is an ensemble portrait of the modern relationship, as it currently exists in the wilds of New York. Three men: Charles, Josie and Scott, and three women: Maggie, Kim, and Zoe, crash into each other in a tangled web of late nights, painful mornings, hurt feelings and one ill-advised trip to a strip club. It’s a non-linear story of ex-girlfriends and brand new boyfriends, of one night stands and single men getting cats. It’s a story of the timeless quest for a real human connection, however short-lived. A mysterious video-game adventure interweaves with reality television inspired confessionals and traditional narrative stories to offer a fresh and modern twist on the relationship movie. Get ready to get lost. Lost in the game, lost in love, lost in Plato’s Reality Machine.

Plato's Reality Machine is a mind-bending exploration of identity and the blurred lines between the real world and the digital realm. The film's meta-narrative structure kept me guessing until the very end. While some of the philosophical concepts may be a bit heavy-handed, the overall experience is rewarding. It's a film that will stay with you long after the credits roll.

Myles Sorenson creates one of the year's best indies; an inventive story of rich intersecting characters on the modern quest for truth, love and fulfillment. Trieste Kelly Dunn heads an amazing cast. Great writing, photography and direction.

Storyline goes nowhere. Characterization is nonexistent. Themes are played out. Simply not good... at all.
