REVIEW

As AI begins to inundate our social media and some billionaires resolve what we ought to be
consuming on Tik Tok and Instagram, Each Heavy Factor feels particularly well timed. Set on the final alt-weekly publication nonetheless in operation, Joe (Josh Fadem) is an ad-seller who lives a boring, straightforward going life and he appears to be greater than happy with this. He’s only a dude who’s pleasant with the native liquor retailer proprietor, will get alongside along with his dad and mom, has a unusual girlfriend and hangs out with the one man within the workplace that nobody else desires to.

Joe is simply cruising by means of life with a dry humorousness after which one night time he crosses pathswith the serial killer that has been tormenting the ladies on the town. What transpires after that is precisely the form of weirdness that one would anticipate from author/director Mickey Reece. Varied storylines intersect with each other in opposition to the backdrop of a serial killer thriller that can also be
a commentary on fashionable know-how. Set in a surprisingly low-tech world, the story accommodates
a number of high-tech threats that every one really feel eerily believable within the close to future.

Each Heavy Factor is troublesome to sum up with out ruining absolutely the wackadoo plot. Reece and his solid have come collectively to make one thing actually distinctive. Fadem, particularly, elevates the story by taking part in Joe as somebody who’s unserious and earnest on the similar time. It doesn’t all work, although: the gratuitous nudity simply feels cheesy and the small price range positively makes you second guess a number of the creative and results selections, however total, it does make you suppose. Just a little bit darkish comedy, a titch of Giallo, a heavy dose of massive tech paranoia and a few actually
unusual throwaway bits coming again within the last moments to deliver the whole lot collectively all make for a cinematic expertise that you just positively received’t neglect any time quickly.
