In her feature film directorial debut, writer-director Lisa Joy helms this somewhat dystopian sci-fi tale set in Miami in the near future, where it’s a bit bleak and surrounded by evidence of natural catastrophe. In this revamped society, Nick Bannister (Hugh Jackman) runs a business using technology to tap into people’s memories as they relive their nostalgic past. Trouble starts when Nick falls for Mae (Rebecca Ferguson), a mysterious client who seems to be implicated in a crime, as evident in another client’s nostalgic memories. Co-starring Thandiwe Newton, Cliff Curtis, and Daniel Wu.
