There are some really interesting ideas in ADVANTAGEOUS about what it would mean to put your consciousness into another body in a world were woman have lost all value aside from mothering (and even that seems impossible for some in this world due to infertility) but this film is so cold and lifeless that it tranquilizes any potential exploration of these ideas. I barely finished this. Apparently it's based on a short film by the same director - which makes sense because this film's plot is extremely padded in order to fill it's runtime. Perhaps it just wasn't suited to a full-length feature format.
