A whole year in a minute
Ren Amari is the driven inventor of a revolutionary new drug. OtherLife expands the brain's sense of time and creates virtual reality directly in the user's mind. With OtherLife, mere seconds in real life feel like hours or days of exciting adventures. As Ren and her colleagues race around the clock to launch OtherLife, the government muscles in to use the drugs as a radical solution to prison overcrowding. They will create virtual cells where criminals serve long sentences in just minutes of real time. When Ren resists, she finds herself an unwilling guinea pig trapped in a prison cell in her mind. She must escape before she descends into madness, and then regain control of OtherLife before others suffer the same fate.

Just saw this at MIFF. Amazing, thought-provoking movie with great effo, and atmosphere. Quite entrancing and engrossing.
This tedious technobabble is not worth your time. Should have been deleted at conception.
Decent idea and story about what may lie in store for the mind in the future. Great to watch something that keeps you guessing, however - [spoiler] that her hair hadn't grown in a year? That sort of gave away the surprise. And the showdown at the end was great! [/spoiler]
It's amazing (however not surprising) how many good sci-fi movies have been made outside Hollywood, without big budgets, heavy CGI use, car-chasing and explosions. Interesting concept. Although not exactly new, I liked the storytelling's way of getting us inside Ren's skin, to understand why she would make such dangerous choices for someone as smart as her. It's not without flaws but I've found myself enjoying it more than similar stories[spoiler], like the "Playtest" episode of "Black Mirror".[/spoiler]
This idea was used in Outer Limits. Albeit it is a different delivery method but not original at all.
