A mother and a daughter in an apartment, listening to the women crying on the floors above and below. A homeless girl telling a passerby to take whatever work she can get. These are the kinds of quiet-yet-powerful scenes in Advantageous, a low-budget indie film.
The film tells the story of a future world where jobs have been automated even more than they are today, women have been largely forced out of the workplace (the logic: they'll be less violent while living on the streets than men), and opportunities for quality education are cutthroat.
It is riveting, emotionally gripping, and offers up a vision of the future that is disturbingly easy to picture, even as some of the technologies it imagines seem out of reach. It's also the best sci-fi movie I've seen in a long time. The film was released exclusively to Netflix on June 23, 2015.
