A Glitch in the Matrix is a 2021 American documentary film directed by Rodney Ascher. The film had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 31, 2021, and was released theatrically and on digital platforms on February 5, 2021, by Magnolia Pictures to generally positive reviews.[1]
Premise[edit]
Part science fiction mind-scrambler, part horror story, A Glitch in the Matrix is a multimedia exploration of simulation hypothesis – an «idea as old as Plato’s Republic and as current as Elon Musk’s Twitter feed» – through the eyes of those who suspect the world we live in is not real.[2]
Cast[edit]
The following cast members feature in the film as themselves:
- Nick Bostrom
- Joshua Cooke
- Erik Davis
- Philip K. Dick
- Alex LeVine
- Læo Mystwood
- Paul Gude
- Jesse Orion
Production[edit]
The film was first announced on February 4, 2019, as part of the European Film Market, with Quiver Entertainment, then known as Kew Media Distribution, handling international sales.[3] On December 15, 2020, the film was selected as part of the 2021 Sundance Film Festival lineup.[2] The following day, Magnolia Pictures acquired worldwide rights to the film.[4] Alongside the announcement, a teaser trailer was released.
Release[edit]
The film had its world premiere on January 31, 2021, at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival as part of the Midnight section.[5] The film was then given a limited theatrical release on February 5, 2021, as well as a digital release via premium video on demand.[6]
In its opening weekend, the film grossed $3,000 in the United States.[7]
Critical reception[edit]
On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a 68% Fresh rating, with the site’s critical consensus reading «Although occasionally muddled, A Glitch in the Matrix is a thought-provoking portrait of digital culture and its relationship to reality.» The film has an average score of 6.2/10 based on 98 critic reviews. On Metacritic, the film has a score of 62/100 based on 25 critic reviews.
Wendy Ide of Screen International called the documentary «fascinating, mind-expanding, infuriating, bewildering,» and «bracingly ambitious» in a positive review.[8] John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that «though it leaves some avenues under-explored and gives a bit too much attention to the sci-fi landmark name-checked in its title, the film makes for engrossing, sometimes unsettling viewing» in another mostly positive review.[6] Leslie Felperin of The Guardian gave the film 3/5 stars, stating that «what’s missing from this fecund brew, which you could imagine being twice as long, is any kind of judgment or analysis of the subjects.»[9] Noel Murray from the Los Angeles Times wrote that «while the doc may be overlong, it’s consistently fascinating because of its implications» in a mixed review.[10]

О фильме
Попытка исследования на тему, живем ли мы действительно в матрице
Новая документалка Родни Ашера — автора «Комнаты 237» про кубриковское «Сияние» и «Ночного кошмара» про сонный паралич и Фредди Крюгера. Как легко догадаться из названия, свежая работа посвящена «Матрице» сестер Вачовски и людям, которые серьезно верят, что живут в симуляции. Главная фишка картины в том, что она целиком была сделана онлайн: львиную долю фильма занимают трехмерные анимированные интервью людей, которые верят (или верили), что живут в виртуальной реальности. Все это разбавлено архивным и довольно занятным выступлением писателя-фантаста Филипа К.Дика, отрывками из видеоигр (например, «Майнкрафта») и различных культовых фильмов про то, что реальность — это фейк (от «Шоу Трумана» до «Темного города», от «Тринадцатого этажа» до «Меняющих реальность»), плюс есть компьютерная реконструкция того, как парень по имени Джошуа (грубо говоря, Иисус), уверовав в то, что он живет в матрице, убил своих родителей. Она обходится без людей и выступает центром тяжести всей картины. Вряд ли, конечно, «Сбой» перевернет вашу жизнь и откроет вам на что‑то глаза, если вы читали «Симулякры и симуляцию» и полемику философа и мыслителя Жана Бодрийяра с Вачовски, но это захватывающее, нетривиально сделанное кино, в котором содержание подчинено форме: про симуляцию надо рассказывать виртуальным языком — и с этой задачей Ашер справляется очень даже неплохо, а местами и вовсе блестяще.

О фильме
Насколько возможна теория сущестования нашей реальности в некой симуляции? Это вопрос, который постулируется, решается и аргументируется в архивных материалах, убедительных интервью с реальными людьми, окутанными цифровыми аватарами, и подборкой кейсов от некоторых из наших самых иконоборческих фигур в современной культуре.
