The Generation GapWhat our critics say

The Vibe Detector
The Vibe DetectorGen Z

This film is a trip, blending live-action with breathtaking animation. Robin Wright plays herself, a fading actress who agrees to have her digital likeness scanned and owned by Hollywood forever. It’s a poignant, surreal exploration of identity, aging, the film industry's soul-sucking nature, and the future of technology. Like, what even is "you" when your image can live on without you? Visually stunning and deeply thought-provoking.

Robin Wright plays herself in this wild mix of live-action and animation, where actors' personas can be digitally scanned and licensed. It's a mind-bending, philosophical journey about identity, art, and the future of celebrity. The animation sequences are absolutely breathtaking and the ideas it explores about virtual existence feel incredibly relevant now. It’s like a glimpse into our AI-powered content future.
