In a not-too-far-off future, octogenarian widow Marjorie reconnects with her deceased husband. Or, rather, with an artificial intelligence hologram of his younger self who feeds off the information he gleans through conversations with her. It’s an opportunity for Marjorie not only to relive her past, but to reshape it.

Driven by virtuoso performances from its powerhouse cast, the new film from Michael Almereyda poses provocative questions about love, technology, memory, and mortality.
