Review of Upgraded

Upgraded (2024)
1/10
The umpteenth romanticization of the capitalistic Cinderella delusional tale
16 February 2024
Why do they keep making this film? Same ol same ol, over and over again. I do not think films have to be morally enriching or inspiring. They do not need to make you hopeful about things or be a feel-good product, yet this constant depiction of power/corporate/latecapitalist/american atmospheres as something desirable, comic and aspirational is sickening, especially given the fact they want it to be yet another fairy tale about mice and swans. Another modern day Cinderella, who suffers the pressures of the working class life but her existance, career and prospects will change because of prince charming and luck, always luck. I would develop further but it does not deserve any more words, that is what it is, and nothing more. Gross.
