‘LifeHack’ Review: Latest Movie In Computer Screenlife Genre Is Best Yet, A Rocking And Riveting Cryptocurrency Heist Film – SXSW


A review of 'LifeHack', the latest in the Screenlife genre all presented on a computer screen. Premiere at SXSW sees this film as a digtail 'Oceans11'

Surprisingly though she actually wants in on the action as a form of retribution against her shady father, and in opening up the door to millions more than they ever could imagine this quartet-turned-quintet takes off on one of the biggest heists of all time without ever setting foot outside their bedrooms (well all except the girls) but you will have to see the film to avoid any spoiler alerts from this point on. Hitchcock would have loved this beyond, as well as the sheer technical wizardry and skill of debuting 27 year old Irish director Ronan Corrigan who was plucked from a Black List-style program Bekmambetov founded called Screenlifers designed to help emerging filmmakers in the format. The belief in Corrigan’s directorial savvy, as well as in writing (Hope Elliott Kemp collaborated with him on the screenplay) pays off, as does the casting with all four Gen Z young leads creating distinct personalities that give them three-dimensionality even without all the tools actors in more conventional film formats enjoy.
