Oliver’s review published on Letterboxd:
Hooptober 12: 11/31
From the opening title sequence, I knew that this would be up my alley aesthetically, but I also feared that it would add nothing in terms of story or themes. Regrettably, that’s exactly what happened — it came true, haha.
I wonder if Come True had worked better as a music video, or as a short film. The mood is there, the soundtrack is fantastic, but the story leads nowhere, and the Jungian themes are undercooked. It’s indebted to Cronenberg (both the Elder and the Younger), but those films explore the liminality of reality and technology, and this one wimps out on these explorations somewhere in the last third of the runtime.
