In the film review provided, the movie "BlackBerry" is described as a fast-paced
portrayal of the rise and fall of the iconic smartphone.
Director Matt Johnson explores the nostalgia of the mid-aughts era through
period-appropriate music and VHS-style camcorder footage, while also delving
into the psychological impact of being constantly connected to work through
email.
The film follows the journey of Research in Motion, the Canadian company
behind BlackBerry, as it faces market forces and business missteps.
Johnson's immersive and restless style, along with captivating performances
by the cast, particularly Glenn Howerton as Jim Balsillie, creates a compelling
portrait of a company that ultimately succumbs to its own shortcuts and
shady deals.
The review suggests that while the BlackBerry era may evoke nostalgia, the
chances of a similar resurgence in the future are unlikely. |
