Bliss (2021)
Director/Writer: Mike Cahill
Stars: Owen Wilson, Salma Hayek
Drama, Romance, Sci-Fi | imdb | my rating: 3
A mind-bending love story following Greg who, after recently being divorced and then fired, meets the mysterious Isabel, a woman living on the streets and convinced that the polluted, broken world around them is a computer simulation.

Mixed feels. Is it scifi or mental illness or both?
