Science has always defined love as a hormonal act, and to support this statement, you have the Fingernails. In this world of Fingernails, love is handled with clinical precision.
Continuing with the online comparability tests, the world also focuses on the compatibility tests of couples. In this world, the couple had to take a certain test to be labeled as positive or negative. It’s reminiscent of Brave New World and Orwell’s creation, 1984.
Jessie Buckley’s Anna seeks to reignite her relationship with Ryan, played by Jeremy Allen White. Now, they plan to take the ‘fingernail’ test. It comes out positive, but then you are hit with the question: What is love without the feeling?
With this question, the movie moves on. It indeed has a fair few flaws; firstly, the movie plays it way too safe. Additionally, though the movie had all the potential, the short time span didn’t allow it to go deep enough.
But in terms of greatness, it will give you an Anderson-esque vibe. The visuals are just stunning. In terms of acting, it is no less than brilliant as Buckley and Ahmed nail their parts. If you can overlook the underwhelming storyline, it will be a great watch.
