Minor Premise

Watched on the edge of my seat... so many twists and turns. Great script about a deep and complex subject, and the actors really brought it home. Takes concentration to understand the "premise". Definitely worth a watch!

This is a thinking person's film. It delves into detail of mapping out the mind and memory. The protagonist creates many versions of himself for science. It went over my head at times but keep with it to see the conclusion.

It was a really interesting concept with the split personality angle but difficult to grasp the thread of what was happening for much of the film. This would have been fine if you were invested in the characters but they were hard to root for as their motivations just did not seem convincing. I didn't really believe in the protaganists passionate, single minded pursuit of "the work" nor his partner's total commitment to stick by him in the most extreme circumstances. A great example of how to execute this kind of story really well is Shane Carruth's 2004 film 'Primer' and although Minor Premise evoked some aspects of that film it was much less enjoyable, for me.

I can't understand the amazing reviews on this. I couldn't even finish this film. The plot was weak, horrible acting. It was as if we watching someone who was so bored by lockdown that they were trying anything to get through but for us the viewers it was irritating and boring.
