Long Live Cinema
In an increasingly connected world where even our smallest interactions occur
on smartphones through platforms like Instagram, it's fitting to discuss this Indian film that is told entirely through screens—a format now known as "Screenlife." This approach is a testament to the evolution of our consumption and communication habits.
CTRL directed by Vikram Motwane brilliantly and subtly incorporates the creepy nature of AI through Nella's interactions. If you don’t know her, that’s okay because the AI knows everything about her life that she never even revealed, yet she ignores this intrusion despite finding it weird—a common human tendency. This subtle hint at AI snooping is perhaps the scariest part of the film, as it reflects a major problem in all our lives that we tend to overlook. It's reminiscent of seeing ads for something we were just talking about, making a meta-commentary on our behavior.
CTRL uses the Screenlife format by taking full advantage of the screens and cameras that constantly surround us, recording our every action. This innovative approach to storytelling effectively captures the essence of modern digital life.

At first, I was pretty much on board with this film, even though I could see
where the story was headed early on. The way it was told was convincing enough to keep me interested.

Technically solid but too naive portrayal of the reality today

CTRL is a movie which deserves to be seen because it provides a perspective on
why we should mediate the time that we spend on social media. It is an eye opening and gut wrenching

I absolutely loved Searching and Missing, which I stumbled upon during Covid,
so I had high expectations for CTRL. While it did keep me hooked, the stakes didn’t feel high enough

So yeah, what makes CTRL eery is how relatable Nella’s spiral feels.
She too watches videos on "anxiety relief" and between that plus the stand up comedy clip, I saw my own
