“Nosedive” is the first episode of the third season of the sci-fi series Black Mirror,
whose purpose is to show how society would be if we keep abusing technology.
This episode it’s set in a society where people rate each other with their mobile phones
based on what they published in their social media or every interaction they have in public.
Everyone has a rate, which affects their social and economic status.
The main character, Lacie (played by the American actress Bryce Dallas Howard),
is a young woman obsessed with her rate and since she’s kicked out of the house
she’s sharing with her brother Ryan (James Norton), she wants to buy one she could
only afford if she increases her rate. She sees her opportunity when her childhood friend
Naomi (Alice Eve) ask her to be maid of honor for her wedding. Lacie’s adventure starts
when she goes to the airport and she can’t take a flight to Naomi’s wedding, and then she
has a discussion with one of the customer service worker, which makes her rate lower.
During this adventure, Lacie meets some people that make her think about the society
she lives in.
What I like the best is the outstanding performance of Bryce Dallas Howard as Lacie,
the photography, which is brilliant, and the plot, that shows you how some people just talk
to you because of your social or economic status and not for who you are.
In conclusion, this is an interesting episode that makes you think and it totally holds
the spectator’s attention until the end.
