I really did not expect to like this at all going in, but the premise, of people opting to remove their hearts to deal with the pain of living in the cold, callous world we all know so well, very quickly grabbed me and drew me in. It's strange how it is summarized as taking place in "an alternate world", when we can see the numbness and inhuman insanity it depicts all around us every day.
The film ultimately feels a poor relation to great works on a similar theme, such as Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind, Her, Cold Souls and The Lobster, and reminds me also of the films of Miranda July. It doesn't really get anywhere close to those heights, mostly because it doesn't explore or sustain any of the ideas it introduces in enough depth, and so ends up more like a bunch of half-thought-out intuitions thrown at the wall and somehow forming a pretty decent -if familiar - Black Mirror episode. For all that, it's still a good film, made with good intentions, well-acted by all, and a welcome change from the soul-crushing pap we are expected to consume every other second of the day.
6.7/10.
Plot summary
In an alternate world where hearts are made of objects and suppressing emotions is self-care, a lonely woman rips out her own heart for the man she loves, only to discover that he has run away with it.
