A trailer has been released for “Fingernails.”
Anna (Jessie Buckley) and Ryan (Riz Ahmed) have found true love. It’s been proven by a controversial new technology. There’s just one problem: Anna still isn’t sure. Then she takes a position at a love testing institute, and meets Amir.
Director Christos Nikou turned some heads with his Venice pandemic entry “Apples,” which felt Lanthimos-light to me, but it had its fans. At the very least, you can’t help but applaud his ambitions in this latest film.
His “Fingernails” landed with a thud at both Telluride and TIFF — the reviews just weren’t good. Regardless, the film is set to appear on Apple TV on November 3rd.
