ALGORITHM BLISS

Cinemavixion Review

In 'Algorithm Bliss,' director duo Dena Hysell-Cornejo and Isak Borg present a cautionary tale set against the backdrop of technological ambition. The film follows an entrepreneur who, having developed an app designed to transmit happiness, finds himself catapulted to fame. However, his triumph is short-lived as the app's unintended consequences—mind-altering glitches—emerge, forcing him into a desperate quest to rectify his creation. The narrative escalates as his obsession with fixing the software begins to erode his personal relationships and leads him down a dark path, even resorting to murder to protect his invention. Starring Sean Faris, Sarah Roemer, and James Saito, the film explores the complex interplay between innovation, personal sacrifice, and the ethical quandaries that arise when technology wields such profound influence over human emotion and consciousness.
