A high-powered advertising executive and tech geek, David (Dickenson) seeks out a "genius-level creative" (comedian, musician, and "disinformationist" Reggie Watts, playing himself) to elevate Augmenta, a new device in immersive reality, beyond novelty and establish it as an innovative cultural tool. Despite his lofty vision, David ends up using the apparatus to create a life-like avatar of his best friend's girlfriend and has a virtual affair with it. While set in the near future, Creative Control looks back more than it does forward. Strong references to the second half of the 20th century (both cultural and cinematic) as well as clever nods to contemporary culture (tech industry leaders appear in cameos) create a rich pastiche to examine "how did we get this way?" while ultimately offering a stirring reflection of where we are right here and right now.

Another one of those movies that tries to be sci-fi but uses mostly characters and dialogue to do it. It must be said, however, that in this case, I quite positively evaluate the form in which the film was shot. The black and white with the effects is very well done, as is the occasional use of color, but unfortunately, it didn't add to my enjoyment of the film.
