This movie starts with a man who runs an app on his devices which helps him with everyday decisions based on a data heap containing similar decisions and their effect on his overall well-being. The app even treads in a relationship with who later becomes his wife. All the perfection becomes stale however when the man realizes he relied so much on the app that he couldn't even speak his mind when he wanted to anymore.
For me, what this is all about is foreshadowed early on when he asks her to move in and shortly after it is revealed that this is a suggestion from the app. The camera panning from the cuddling couple to the tablet with that message on its screen is quite classic and alarmed me right away.
The production is decent and the actors do a good job. I think Rose's character is a bit shallow, but this isn't about her and it's a twenty minute film after all. It would make a good Black Mirror episode as we have a technology tackling an old human problem and more or less quickly becoming the problem itself. Plus, it has a happy end.
