"The Electric State," directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, presents a visually intriguing and emotionally engaging adaptation of Simon Stålenhag's graphic novel. The film offers an experience that is both thought-provoking and visually captivating, though it may not be without its shortcomings.
The narrative follows a young girl, portrayed by Millie Bobby Brown, as she navigates a dystopian world in search of her missing brother. Her journey, accompanied by a charming robotic companion, is engaging and filled with moments of self-discovery. Brown delivers a strong performance, balancing vulnerability and determination, although there are times when the script could delve deeper into character development.
Visually, the film excels. The Russo brothers have created a richly detailed universe where past and future collide. (...)
