#FUTURISTIC THEMES IN PERFECT SENSE FREE#
Naked Singularity is produced by 3311 Productions, Anton, Scott Free Productions, and Wolf Films. Their relationship could have been better explored without the metaphysical nonsense. They're shackled and willing to seek freedom at a great personal cost. It tries so hard to be meaningful, but achieves the exact opposite. Naked Singularity confounds on many levels. Palmer edits her into a naive and promiscuous performance. Cooke has a great ability to play troubled characters.
She yearns to control her destiny, clearly understands the gravity of her choices, but makes them anyway to propel the script. Luckily, she has a heroic savior to rescue her from bad decisions. She just can't stop jumping into bed and making bad decisions. Lea is a sex object that's willingly manipulated by men. I'm willing to bet she didn't expect to see her character portrayed as such a stepping stool. The final act comes off as ludicrous with a load of philosophical and cosmic gibberish.Ĭhase Palmer misuses Olivia Cooke in this film. But Palmer fails to connect the narrative threads to the climax in a meaningful way. The heist addresses the societal problems that bedevil the protagonist. Writer/director Chase Palmer, the screenwriter of It in his feature debut, needed to focus his efforts on the strongest parts of the narrative. The plot sputters as it goes off on bizarre tangents. Naked Singularity bites off more than it can chew. But his best friend and co-worker (Bill Skarsgård) says they must seize this opportunity to escape an oppressive life. A scientist (Tim Blake Nelson) warns him that the world as he knows it is coming to an end. As Casi continues to struggle with a tortured existence, he begins to notice subtle changes to his surrounding reality. Lea confesses the scheme to Casi, who begs her to come clean to authorities. She foolishly becomes involved with Craig (Ed Skrein), a small-time dealer who desperately wants to buy a specific car at the police auction. Olivia Cooke co-stars as Lea, an ex-druggie working at a claims booth at the NYPD tow pound. Who's itching to have him disbarred for contempt. He's also become the favorite target of an acerbic judge (Linda Lavin). Wealthy criminals post bond and go free while his clients unjustly rot in prison. He's tired of watching poor people incarcerated for minor offenses. John Boyega stars as Casi, a well-meaning and virtuous public defender in New York City.
Sergio De La Pava's celebrated debut novel gets a feeble big screen adaptation. Naked Singularity strives for depth and meaning, but comes up woefully short.
While the universe counts down to inexplicably collapsing. A disaffected public defender becomes involved in a beautiful parolee's drug heist. Naked Singularity is a bewildering mashup of social justice themes, science fiction, and hackneyed crime thriller.
