Pau film review

In that sense, “Nosedive” is both dystopian fiction and acute social satire. Lacie (Bryce Dallas Howard) lives in a version of America where every tiny interaction is ranked by the people involved on an app that syncs with augmented-reality contact lenses (or retinal implants, it’s unclear). The minute you see someone you can also see their ranking, meaning that reality has morphed into a pastel-colored nightmare of aggressive cheeriness, as citizens attempt to out-nice each other and bump up their ratings.

FILM REVIEW - FERRAN ARRIZABALAGA

Nosedive is a british production part of the netflix sci-fi show Black Mirror. This episode is about a story from Charlie Brooker and directed by Joe Wright.

The chapter shows a world where being famous, popular and kind means everything and you do whatever for that. People rate everyone they see on a scale 1 to 5. A woman needs a a good rate and she gets invited to a wedding, but many things go wrong along the way and finally she cant enter to the wedding. Maybe she would be in the wedding if she had had more luck.

I really liked watching this episode because it aims to show us today’s society. 

Currently, many people just think about how they will be rated on social networks, 

without really caring what they are but if we stop valuing everyone, we could start loving ourselves.

In conclusion, if I were you, I would watch this chapter because shows and 

criticize the society that is based only on how people are physically and not really 

how they are, like social medias do.

FILM REVIEW - Isaac Revuelta

Black Mirror is a sci-fi serie, it’s set in the present/future days and sometimes in the past, it’s about the present problems with the technology. Nosedive is an episode set in a fictitious world that your social class is decided by your rating, this ratings are got thank to the people, who can rate each other from one to five stars for every interaction they have.

If you have a high rating, you have more opportunities in everything you do. 

The main character is played by Bryce Dallas ( Lacie ), a young woman obsessed for her ratings, she has an unique chance to be the maid of honor for her oldest friend from the childhood, Naomie ( Alice Eve ). Naomie is a popular person with a high rating who is among a more persons with a high ratings, then, Lacie wants to be there to increase her rating. If she went to the wedding, she would go up her rating, to achieve a big discount in her dream’s house. 

What I loved is the conversation that Lacie had with an old driver ( who had a low rating ) ,  the old driver was talking with her that also she had been an obsessed with her ratings, if I had gotten a higher rating, she would have been happier , the old driver was thinking in this during a lot of years, until, she realised that she didn’t need it. This conversation reminds me that nowadays a lot of persons need have a high number of followers in the social networks to be happy, when in fact, we don’t need them, it is just a number. 

In my opinion, “Black Mirror “ is probably the most realistic serie at all times, it can show you all the society’s problems in one episode, also all the endings will take you by surprise. I’ll recommend Black Mirror if anyone asks me for a good serie.

FILM REVIEW - Alejandro Rodríguez

Black Mirror

Although Black Mirror uses fictional technology, it is always related to our reality in this chapter, it implies that social networks and the eyes of others condition our lives and what would happen if all those social codes that are managed at a virtual level will move and they had direct repercussions in real life.

As a consequence of the scoring system, the episode proposes a society in which people are constantly having good gestures with others but all always behind a "mask" of falsehood that hides the sole intention of improving their own image.

This causes a climate in which people can not stop trying to like each other constantly. In fact, in conflicting situations, the characters can do nothing but suppress their anger when they disagree with someone who has a higher score as if they were speaking to a superior.

This creates a decompensation in social classes between people with high scores and people with low scores, to the point that if you talk to people with low scores you lower your own score, where in this society it is very important.

Those with high scores have a more comfortable life and with more possibilities while those with a low score have more limited options for everything and this added to the negative assessment of society to see that they already have a bad score makes it difficult to leave that situation, so they fall into a spiral that puts them in a worse and worse condition.

I believe that Black Mirror indirectly makes use of a resemblance to capitalism where the rich tend to be richer and the poor increasingly poor.

To finish black mirror it implies that only when you are isolated can you feel free from social pressures and find happiness and I personally liked it a lot and I recommend it since Black Mirror is a series full of interesting and thematically rich stories for which it gives A lot to analyze.

FILM REVIEW - Eloi Contel

Black Mirror is a British dystopian science fiction anthology television series created by Charlie Brooker. In this series, there is a famous blockbuster, the first episode of the third season called Nosedive.

How would our life be if it depended constantly on the opinions of others about us? This is what Nosedive is about, the episode takes place in a world in which people can qualify and be rated by scores of one to five stars in each social interaction they make. Lacie Pound lives with her brother Ryan. With an overall rating of 4.2 Lacie seeks to raise its rating to 4.5 in order to obtain a discount to acquire a luxury apartment. She talks to a consultant who suggests that she must try to interact with people who have very high ratings, as they have a greater impact when assigning her score.

From my point of view, the importance of the episode is the background. How the characters fake their thinking and feelings to get a five stars.

Finally, I have to say that it was very interesting to watch, and i would recommend it to anyone

Black Mirror Review

The episode takes place in a world in which people can qualify and be rated by scores of one to five stars in each social interaction they make. Lacie, is a young woman obsessed with her qualifications, she works in an office and lives in an apparently deal world, but if she want to upgrade her social position she will have to stay with some other persons with a great social position. Then she is chosen by a popular childhood friend that she is very well positioned in the social world, and she want to invite him as the bridesmaid of her future wedding. During the trip to attend the wedding Lacie has several clashes.

The characters have a lot in common because all them are obsessed with have a good position in the social world, but if they left social networks, they would stop worrying about what the others think of them, and that’s a great thing.

I’ll recommend this episode of Black Mirror, because in my opinion, it is a very interesting episode, because it talks about how much we are obsessed with the electronic devices. Nowadays every person minimum have a mobile, and we are always hooked to the mobile and social media, and here in this episode talks about how much can the social media affect to our lives.

In general I think is a good episode but but if they had made a less futuristic thought, I would have been more interested, because some parts were difficult to understand.

Film Review – Lluís Bas

“Nosedive” is the first episode of the third season of Black Mirror. This science-fiction series was created in 2011 by Charlie Brooker and nowadays it’s produced by Netflix. This episode’s director is Joe Wright and the leading actress is Bryce Dallas Howard.

In this short film we can see the story of a girl called Lacie who lives in a futuristic society that rewards people’s kindness and punishes unfriendly attitudes.

Lacie lives in the privileged part of this society until one day, desperate to improve her standard of living and her popularity on social media, she does her best to go to a wedding of high-ranking people but unfortunately, the trip doesn’t go as planned.

I find this episode amazing because, in my opinion, the role of Lacie is brilliantly performed and I like how the main character rediscovers her society by looking things from another perspective.

However, I didn’t like the final scene because I think it is so hard to understand for any spectator. If I was this episode’s creator, I would have changed it for a more specific final.

If I had to say something about “Nosedive”, I would say that it’s a great episode of this series and if you like Black Mirror and futuristic films with an open ending in general, you will love it.

BLACK MIRROR

Black Mirror is a sci-fi serie,it’s about the problems that occurs because of the technology.Nosedive is set in a future,in which the people value the other people with a punctuation.If you have an hight punctuation,you have more benefits.

The main character is starred by Bryce Dallas (Lacie),a young woman obsessed with her qualifications is chosen by a popular childhood friend (Alice Eve) as the bridesmaid of her future wedding.The chapter deals with a society that has adapted to technology where everyone shares their daily activities and classifies their interactions with the rest of the people through an application.Bryce Dallas(Lacie) lives with her brother James (Ryan).

Naomi values ​​the photo with a high score and contacts Lacie, offering to be her bridesmaid at her future wedding.In the final scene,bad situations were happening during the trip that caused Lacie's score to go down a lot and put him in jail.

Nosedive Chapter I like it a lot, since it criticizes today's society and that there are people who don't reflect they how are actually,and the part of the chapter that I liked the most is when a stranger who drives a truck takes Lacie to the wedding and makes her think that you have to be yourself and that the punctuation does not matter.

Film Review-Paula Asensio

Nosedive is one of the most famous episodes of the Black Mirror serie, a science-fiction serie. It’s directed by Joe Wright and Bryce Dallas Howard acted as an actress and his character is Lacie.

The plot is based on Lacie that lives in a totally technological world in which people are scored through an application according to their opinion. The score changes according to the things you do and how people react to it. You can have many luxuries if you has a high score and that is what makes Licie lose her mind, that obsession she has for having a high score that gives her the opportunity to live in the house of her dreams. I could’t live in this world, I would get crazy.

This episode is very interesting because it makes you see what technology can affect us and how people change the way they really are to have a benefit.I really like the way in which the whole story is explained and how the main character evolves as time goes by.

I think that it doesn’t has any flaw. In colusion, I recommend this episode and the serie in general, I think it’s very good and the ending will certainly take you by surprise.

Film Review- Hosana Giralt

 Nosedive, is a chapter of the famous serie Black Mirror. The serie is directed by Joe Wright and the principal character off this episode is the actress Bryce Dallas Howard doing the role off Lacie.

The plot is based on a world where the people can value between one and five stars for each interaction that she have with another person, thing that can affect the social status doing so that you have more or less opportunities, for example to achieve an house... Lacie, the protagonist, is obsessing with her mark and each moment tries to grow up it, but her personality is false, because she act for achieve a good value. One day she is chosen to be a childhood friend’s maid of honour, which is an opportunity to increase her rating and buy a luxurious house. Her obsession causes mishaps in her trip to wedding when finally doing so reductions in her values.

Personality, I think that the most positive and important about this episode is the message that gives, because nowadays we are influenced by these apps and if we were always pay attention about other opinions, we wouldn't be sincere with  ourselves. 

The only fault I can find is the soundtrack and if I were the director, I would change this point.

I recommend it because this serie it makes you think and if you like this tipe off serie, you will love this.

Nosedive Review

“Nosedive” is the first episode of Black Mirror’s season three; a British dystopian sci-fi TV series. This episode was created by Charlie Brooker and directed by Joe Wright. The main character, “Lacie”, is starred by Bryce Dallas Howard, and it also stars Alice Eve in the role of “Naomi”.

It tells the story of Lacie, a woman who lives in a world where everybody is completely overwhelmed by the madness of being popular and important in social media, because the more “likes” they score, the higher status they have in the society. If you are above a 4.5 you have more opportunities to do what you want, such as get into exclusive clubs or have discounts. Otherwise, you will not be able to get them. One day, Lacie receives an invitation from her best childhood friend, who has a high status, to her marriage. So, she thinks that going there would help her to improve her rating. But certain unexpected situations will try to stop her from reaching in her destiny. Will she be able to attend the wedding?

What I like best about this episode is the key message it gives. It makes you think about how social networks affect our lives and up to what point we would be as dependent as people in the episode are. Moreover, it has incredible special effects, because they add a lot of holograms, showing what they are seeing through their eyes, and I think it is a point to consider. And on top of that, the role of Lacie is brilliantly performed.

What I like least is the soundtrack. In my opinion, if it is well done, it helps to hold the spectator’s attention until the end, and it this case, it has gone unnoticed, but it is the only thing I would improve.

This episode has been a blockbuster, since I have already seen it twice at school. I strongly recommend it to everybody, but especially to the young, because it makes you think how much time you spend on your mobile phone, and see how could this addiction end in a few years.

Film review-Judith Vegas

“Nosevide”, it’s a episode of the serie “Black Mirror”, which it doesn’t have a current plot that follows on every episode, but they have nothing to do with each other. Concretely this episode and its history are written by Michael Schubert and Rashida Jones, the director is Joe Wright, and the main actress on this episode is Bryce Dallas which plays the role of Lacie. 

The plot is based on a world where people rate you from one to five stars through the mobile phone depending on the feelings or impression you cause on them, this rates goes to your principal page of your profile, and of course the more higher punctuation you have, more popular and social you are, and also people treat you nicer. Lacie the main character is obsessed with her mark, she is only a facade, doesn’t act naturally as she was really her, acts to get her score up and that people value her more because she has a high punctuation, also she feels better about herself because she has made her self esteem and her life in general depend on it. 

My personal opinion of this episode, is that if we continue this way we are, making our social media so important we will end like them, rating each other. And also we can’t care so much about what the other people thinks about us because if we do it we wouldn’t be trully us , so we must act naturally, just the way we are and not to like others. 

Despite of it’s bad message, well not really bad but realistic message that has the background of the episode, I really recommend it to concern people that if you act the same way, and to the others, not to you, you have to change. I don’t want our society to end the same way.

FILM REVIEW - Marina Cabezas

NOSEDIVE

Black Mirror, the famous science-fiction series, has started its third season with a amazing episode. It stars Bryce Dallas Howard in the role of Lacie. She lives in a society obsessed with social network and appearance.

The film deals with a world where everyone can mark your network content and your daily actions. If you aren’t nice with people, they will give you a bad mark. But the worst part is that depending on your mark, you have access to certain things and privileges. For example, unless you are over the 3.1, you can’t rent a modern car.

Lacie has a good mark and her old very good marked friend has invited her to her wedding. She thinks is a great chance to increase her mark and finally buy a new house. In her way to the wedding, she will have to fight with some troubles and as a consequence, she will get an awful ranking. If she had been nicer, she would have a higher mark. But Lacie is a stubborn person and she is willing to do anything for a good mark. 

I think this film is trying to shows us a possible future if we continue hooked up at technologies. It is warning us. 

But unfortunately, I believe that future might be already here. We judge people not only by the photos that they post, but also by the clothes that they wear or the language that they speak.

To sum up, I recommend it to everyone because this episode is brilliant and shocking and it makes you think but also makes you laugh.

“Nosedive” is the first episode of the third season of Black Mirror, a famous science-fiction series directed by Joe Wright and produced by Netflix. The story takes place in the surroundings of the United States and it stars Bryce Dallas Howard in the role of Lacie.

The plot is based on a young woman called Lacie whose life depends on a social media platform where your value depends on your own score. She is invited to a wedding, with a great opportunity to improve her mark, but as she attempts to go it, many things go wrong along the way.

What I liked most about the episode were the conversations that Lacie had with his brother James and with Susan because they opened Lacie’s eyes through their own words.

The only fault I can find is that the episodes are too long. If I were the director, I would make the episodes shorter than now.

In my opinion, it’s a realistic film which is totally amazing. If I have to recommend it, I will recommend that film to insensibility people although I am sure that they will not understand the message.

Finally, If you get the chance to watch it, then watch it. The ending will certainly take you by surprise. Don’t miss it!

NOSEDIVE-BLACK MIRROR

“Nosedive” is the first episode of the third season of Black Mirror, a Sci-fi serie published on Netflix and directed by Joe Wright. The main character is Lacie, which is interpreted by Bryce Dallas Howard.

The plot is based in a world in which all people have an assessment in the form of a number according to your social networks. Lacie, the protagonist of the chapter, firstly has a score of 4.2, which is very good. She lives with her brother and decides to buy a new house, so she goes looking for her. Find one that is splendid and very large, but it is too expensive. The seller says that if she gets a rating of 4.5 she will get a discount. The main character tries all the way to get the 3 tenths that were missing. Suddenly, a childhood friend of her which has a rating of 4.8 on social networks, invites her to her wedding in which all guests have a score greater than 4.5 stars. Lacie thinks that if she goes to the her wedding, she could get a 4.5 or more so she tries to do everything to go to that wedding and do the best possible performance. On the way to the airport crashes with a lady and that scores him a star that makes low her score  to 4.1. Then when she arrives at the airport, she founds that her flight is cancelled, she becomes angry at the employee and the airport security drops 2 stars at once because of his bad behaviour. Finally, her friend, who is getting married soon, cancels her invitation to her wedding because of her low rating. Even so, she shows up at the wedding thinking that she would improve the situation if she assist and makes the speech. She was full of mud and finally she tries to stab the boyfriend. With this action they imprison her and take away her cell phone, without him she will no longer be able to value or be valued.

I find this episode so interesting because it is a satire to today's flawed world and pending all the time of its social networks and the protagonist makes an outstanding performance. I recommend it a lot because this episode holds the spectator’s attention until the end and I think this serie is one of the bests of its kind.

Film Review 

Nosedive is the first episode of the third season of a sci-fi serie called Black Mirror. It’s directed by Joe Wright and Bryce Dallas Howard roles Lacie who is the main character.

It tells the story of a woman called Lacie that lives in a world where people can rate you from one to five stars depending on the impressions they have about you, and if you have a good rate, you can do more things than the others. Lacie wants to be more popular because if she doesn’t get 4.5 stars, she won’t have the apartment of her dreams. For this reason she gets in touch with an old friend that it’s so popular but things will take an unexpected turn.

What I loved about this episode is the message that it has. Nowadays a lot of teenagers have the same attitude than Lacie, they want to be popular, doing whatever it takes, like being a different person in social media and real life. If I lived in a world like this, I would get crazy like her.

I didn’t find any negative point, the soundtrack it’s good and it’s also well-acted.

I recommend a lot this episode, and if you like watching series that make you think, Black Mirror is a very good option.

film review-melanie arteaga

“Nosedive” is the first episode of Black mirror, a Sci-fi Serie, on Netflix directed by Joe Wright. Bryce Dallas Howard a Hollywood star takes the main role “Lacie”.

The story takes place in a world which the society is constantly rating each other to reach five stars depending the impression that you show, forced to be agreeable all the time. The numbers are the positions in the society, if you are a higher rating, you will have a better quality of live and have more privileges. Lacie is 4.2 and needs to be 4.5 to get a discount on a new house, however a series of unfortunate incidents her rank decrease, and she is obsessed to get 4.5. If she had got five stars, she would have been happy.

The message that gives the episode is so important because show how society works, and the actress plays her role realistic.

The only negative point I can find is that the episode has some borings scenes, the interesting part is in the final scene.

I recommend that episode because has a good idea to transmit the real message about society. What would you do if you lived in that world?

Film Reveiw-Sara García

The Blackmirror chapter is about a future where you value yourself as a person or the photos you hang with a maximum of five stars. The protagonist is looking for a flat to live alone, and for this she has to get a maximum of stars, so she asks for advice and tells her to be a natural person and always be kind. She uses these tips and uploads a picture of a childhood stuffed animal, and her friend, with she made the doll, which has many followers, invites her to the wedding and she does everything possible to arrive and everything goes as I had thought to get the stars you need for the floor. But when it comes to catching the plane, it runs out of ticket. Because of this he becomes very angry with the girl who is selling the ticket, and the security guard takes him out of there, and in addition they lower him more points. Get a car to go to the wedding, but you run out of gas and suffer some mishaps that make you lower your points even more. During the trip her friend calls her to tell her not to come to her wedding since her score is very low. But she also goes and spoils the party. And in the end he ends up going to jail. I am against it, because I do not see just that because of how you are or that you climb, you have to have more or less stars and with it your condition of life depends. If it existed there would be much more inequality and possibly more controversial. I would recommend this chapter because they teach us reality and open our eyes to it does not depend on what you want others to see about you but on how you are.

Nosedive-Black Mirror

Nosedive is the first episode of the 3rd season of Black Mirror series, which has been produced by Netflix. It is directed by Joe Wright, while the principal actress is Bryce Dallas Howard and roles Lacie. The category of this episode is Sci-fi like every episode of the Black Mirror.

Lacie, the protagonist, has only one reach in life: to get her ranking close to 4.5, the magic number that allows her to access her dream apartment and the perfect life with which she fantasizes. He lives in a world in which people rate each other according to their personal interactions, their photos, even the way they greet or the way they look. These prefabricated pieces of life that we hang on Facebook are taken to the extreme, and Lacie is desperate to live up to and be, directly, the most popular girl.

In my opinion,this production is very achieved, it represents a perfect world, but at the same time, is too false, it could be a future vision of the world. My favourite part of this film was when she was losing and losing points until, finally got to jail, I really recommend this episode, but I have seen betters on Black Mirror.

Film Review-Edu Ferrando

Review Black Mirror Nosedive

Nosedive, the episode is both dystopian fiction and acute social satire. The plot turns around Lacie, a woman who lives in a version of America where every tiny interaction is ranked by the people involved on an app that syncs with augmented-reality contact lense. The minute you see someone you can also see their ranking,  citizens attempt to out-nice each other and bump up their ratings.

The episode, was directed by Joe Wright, was written by Brooker with Michael Schur  and was interpreted bythe actress Rashida Jones. The episode aims squarely at the anxiety stoked by a modern obsession with quantification. For anyone who’s ever made conversation with an Uber driver specifically to upgrade a passenger rating, or wondered why a tweet isn’t getting more likes, or even checked a credit score, “Nosedive” surely radiates shivers of anxiety. Men and women wear perfectly mismatched shades of salmon and teal, flowering plants creep over every surface, and even the cookies have smiley faces on them.

At the end, the ending, which sees Lacie robbed of her phone and arrested, trading insults happily with a fellow prisoner across the hall, felt too funny to me, although it was more of an optimistic conclusion. But I loved the visuals of “Nosedive,” and the jarring sense of hyperreality.

Film Review - David Avilés

The episode is about a world in which people can qualify and be scored by scores of
one to five stars for each of the people with whom they have some kind of relationship
or encounter. Lacie, the protagonist, a young woman obsessed with her qualifications,
is chosen by a popular childhood friend, Alice, as the bridesmaid of her future wedding.
During the trip to attend the link, Lacie has a clash with one of the characters that appear
throughout the episode. After that shock your personal rating begins to reduce rapidly
and begins to be poorly valued.

The characters of that episode have in common that most of them are concerned about
their social qualification, basically because they depend on it, the better value you have,
the more privileges you will have. Another thing they have in common is that they are not
transparent at all, they do not say what they think among themselves, they are all lies. If
all these technologies did not exist, they wouldn’t care about what they think of them at
all times.

I liked this episode a lot, because it really makes you think and think about what world
we live in, since it is an exaggerated way to compare it with ours, but it really is.

One thing that I didn't like very much is that it was too futuristic, if the episode were
less futuristic I would have liked it more. If the director had diminished this futuristic
aspect, I think he would have much more audience and visualizations.
