“Taking an Axe to Therapy: A grieving mother crashes the weekend getaway of her former friend group and uses a virtual reality simulation to exact her revenge.”
I recently went traveling and this was one of the options on my four hour flight so I thought, why not? I like the interest plot device, the idea that artificial reality can help a person to work through grief and other mental health related problems.
And honestly, there are times I think about what it would be like just to do whatever I wanted without consequences. I love the idea that we are almost there with this technology and what it could really do for the health of the population as a whole.
But that’s not what this movie is about. I’m sure Nora did some healing throughout her simulation and the movie does a really good job of immersing you in the alternate reality, but this is not a movie about crying your feelings out.
Nora and Michael’s daughter drowns at a pool party, and this causes the end of their marriage and Nora’s friendship with the group. A year later, everyone except Nora has moved on and there’s another party planned…
