You have to give a film credit for trying to do something different, even when its reach extends beyond its grasp. A mockumentary about a couple filming a documentary about their relationship during the height of COVID. The subject matter sounds exceedingly trite and dull, but it manages to be a lot more multilayered than that. As with all "found footage" films, it finds increasingly ludicrous and silly ways to justify how it's all being recorded, but it's all done with tongue firmly planted in cheek. The "code" in this case is manifold, but mainly has to do with sharing your phone's password with your partner and all the many complications that can arise from a breach of privacy and trust.
From the director of Spree, another fun, frequently bonkers mockumentary.
