Bliss (2021)
Bliss?? More like "Miss"
As other reviews have pointed out, the trailer is misleading. This is not a sci-fi film. This movie is an allegory on drug addiction and mental illness. It is clear from the very beginning, that Greg has a drug addiction. Before going into Bjorn's(his boss) office he crushes his medication and whips out a credit card, to snort off screen. As he is being fired, he's stoned out of his mind. When reality comes crashing down, Greg has a psychotic break. This is the point of the story where the narrator becomes unreliable. Isabel is not a real person. She is the literal representation of the drugs that Greg is addicted to. The sci-fi elements are all in his mind. It was well acted. 👏 for Owen Wilson and Selma Hayek. Their performances were outstanding.
