Screens (2023)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

Recent studies suggest that the average adult will spend at least half of their life in front of a screen. This documentary explores how Brazilian digital influencers are using that reality to fuel activism on social issues such as racial representation, LGBTQ+ rights, feminism, and politics. Stuck at home with social media as their only tool to make their voices heard, nine influencers create content across multiple platforms, raising awareness about taboo subjects in an accessible and deconstructed way while sharing their daily lives. Through the communities they build online, they question whether our screens have become true mirrors of the souls of today’s societies.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
