Film Review - Maria Alba

Nosedive is the first episode of the third season of a British series of science fiction called Black
Mirror. This episode is set in Knysna, South Africa and is directed by Joe Wright. The leading
actress is Bryce Dallas Howard because stars the role of Lacie Pound, the protagonist. Also, are
Alice Eve as Naomi Blestow, James Norton as Ryan Pound, Cherry Jones as Susan and Alan
Ritchson as Paul.

Lacie Pound lives in a world where anyone can rate your personality out of five stars, from
your friends to strangers you meet on the street. She lives with her brother Ryan, but she
wants to move out. Lacie finds her dream’s house, but she needs to have a rating of 4.5 or
above instead of 4.2. Luckily, her old friend Naomi contacts her and asks her to be her maid of
honor, which Lacie immediately accepts. Around that, she makes a plan to raise her mark and
manage the house, but her trip does not go as she planned.

The good points are that it is focuses on social media and shows the reality behind the likes, all
the stressful and unreal life that you have when you are looking for more likes. In addition, it
has an awesome plot and splendid special effects.

The bad points are that the beginning can be boring for some people because it is slow
because they have to explain the story and for some people that is tedious. And also, the final
scene because it is a bit bizarre. Maybe, if they had had a different end, they would have
caught more audience and fewer complaints.

It is an intriguing episode and I highly recommend it if you like this kind of episodes. If you see
nosedive, you will not regret it.
