The greatest movie ever made..!

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It shouldn't be part of Black Mirror. The ending sucks.

Perhaps the reason this episode of 'Black Mirror' fails for a lot of viewers is because it's possibly the one that comes closest to examining a technology that could actually exist today. Let's face it, the ubiquitous cell phone with it's ability to take pictures and record what's happening in real time has changed the lives of everyone using it, some for better and some for worse. In the case of 'Arkangel', an implant of some sort provides a masking ability as well, so that unpleasant or troubling images can be blurred to the recipient of the implant. It wasn't really made clear in the story why the Arkangel project was banned, but one suspects it would be for it's invasive impact on the subjects being supervised. A very creepy affair when a someone can dial into a sexual encounter or view illegal drug use about to occur. And as always, unintended consequences can often intrude to derail one's life without any apparent warning. For once, this is a Black Mirror episode that could actually take place.

A boring, pedantic story about the dangers of helicopter parents that was completely unnecessary. It doesn't really fit into the series, it's completely predictable, and not worth watching. Considering how amazing the first episode of the new season, this is even more disappointing. Everything about this episode is bland; boring performances by boring actors, a dull, plodding story that has more in common with a Lifetime movie than any of the other episodes from the series. The only thing "genius" about this episode is the new levels of banality it manages to reach.

This feels like they let the Lifetime Channel direct an episode.
