Review : Black Mirror - Bandersnatch (2018)
From day one, Charlie Brooker and the team behind Black Mirror have pushed the boundaries of what science fiction storytelling can be in the modern era. Once Netflix jumped aboard, the budget and possibilities expanded vastly, and fans were left wondering what the future of the series held in store. Rumors of a groundbreaking new season started to hit the circuit in 2018, but all of that subsided late in the year as word of a movie begin to spread. Many of us were excited, but I am not sure if anyone was ready for the interactive experience that is Black Mirror : Bandersnatch.
Stefan Butler (Fionn Whitehead) is a young programmer with visions of turning Bandersnatch, a book written by author (and killer) Jerome F. Davies (Jeff Minter), into a videogame where the user makes choices to move through the story. Stefan presents the game to Tuckersoft boss Mohan Thakur (Asim Chaudhry) and famed programmer Colin Ritman (Will Poulter), who offer him the chance to finish the game for Tuckersoft and have it released to the masses. Stefan accepts the challenge, much to the behest of his father Peter Butler (Craig Parkinson). As Stefan spirals deeper and deeper into the stress that surrounds him and the game, his mental state begins to fracture. He visits Dr. Haynes (Alice Lowe), which provides awakenings to his feelings about his father in light of his mother’s death, as well as medication that he takes to keep his mental state together. As the deadline fast approaches, however, the pressure begins to get to Stefan, causing a series of choices and events that bring a world of grisly and ghastly possibilities.
The way that the illusion of control is celebrated within a film based on the entire principle of giving viewers choices is fascinating. On top of that, we are dealing with a meta-narrative within a meta-narrative, as we are watching a video game programmer who feels as if they are being controlled create a game about choices based on a book where readers make choices to navigate the narrative. The subtext of medication and psychoactive drugs as control devices creates a sense of paranoia and an unsure nature that makes both Stefan and the viewer equally lost. On the surface, it appears as if the majority of the choices lead to one inevitable conclusion with a few revisions, but I imagine that if you stray far enough off track without derailing the story, other strange endings will emerge.
That illusion bleeds into the realm of choice equally, with most every aspect of the narrative tainted by false choice systems or choice-based regrets. The story of Stefan’s mother’s death not only cripples him emotionally and poisons his relationship with his father, the reality of the event being put into question puts him over the edge. The dreams and flashbacks initially seem like indicators, as Colin mentions briefly, but upon further reflection, they come off more like skewed justifications for horrible actions. The entire narrative seems to loop back around to a handful of key points, and these serve as the splinter points for things to shift direction.
The stark colors not only work as emotional cues, but they blend together as if they are slightly programmed, blending the line between reality and programming quite well. The choice system that Netflix gives works well, with the pauses built into the performances for viewers to make selections masked as seamlessly as possible. There are easter eggs abound throughout the film that further blur the chronology of events with the Black Mirror canon. For such a lofty concept, the writing is sharp and connects together throughout, sometimes even breaking narrative structure altogether to force viewers to choose between difficult extremes. The option to dig around amongst endings upon conclusion of your viewing session is cool, but the system lends itself to repeat viewings with gaps of time spacing them out.
The world is peppered with a number of individuals, but a handful of performances in particular stand out for this particular project. Fionn Whitehead’s measured reluctance, troubled spirit and eventual fractured emotional state are all portrayed confidently and assuredly, many of those beats shifted within the space of a scene. Will Poulter and his offbeat nature work well in contrast, as you’re never quite sure how aware he is of the overall meta-situation. Asim Chaudhry takes what could have easily been a trope of a character and injects it with just enough personality to make him equal parts endearing and sleazy. Craig Parkinson hits all the proper beats of a concerned father who has no idea how their kid truly resents them, and even plays into the twist-tone that is briefly presented in one of Stefan’s dreams. Alice Lowe invokes the spirit of a therapist quite well, to the point where you slightly forget she is an actor. Appearances by Tallulah Haddon, Alan Asaad, Jonathan Aris and Jeff Minter also stand out.
I very much look forward to watching this one a few times over in hopes of not only seeing if I can decipher a pattern, but uncover some of the crazier endings I’ve heard of. As a one-off idea, Black Mirror has a bonafide hit on their hands with this one.

I think these books are terrible, and I read all of them when my teenage niece was into them. They’re poorly written, and the relationship between Edward and Bella is truly creepy. Don’t get me wrong. I understand why some teenage girls love it. I might have loved it as a teenage girl. That’s a very scary time. Strange men look you up and down in public. People feel free to comment on your developing body. The world suddenly feels bigger and more dangerous. I once snapped to a man in Wal-Mart who was ogling my niece, “She’s 11, you perv!”
Anyway, at that age, the idea of the person you love and desire also being someone who can take care of you in every single way and give you undivided attention, well, it’s intoxicating. I won’t comment on the grown women who became so invested in Team Edward. I don’t get that at all.
One could argue that Edward’s controlling nature came from his heightened senses making him hyper aware of the dangers that humans can blunder into. One could point out that, once Bella is changed, their relationship changes dramatically. They become equal partners. He is no longer consumed with her physical protection. They face the Volturi together. And that’s true, but the problem is, the swoony nature of their romance in the public imagination all takes place well before that, when she’s a teenage human and he’s immortal and ageless. Again, creepy.
But, I don’t think the movies are bad. And the primary reason for that is that whoever cast them was either incredibly smart or incredibly lucky. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are both fantastic actors, as their post-Twilight careers and choices show. You watch them as a teenage girl and a vampire and you believe something that should be unbelievable. That’s talent. Similarly, the supporting cast and the physical settings help to give the movies a feeling of realism. The movies are at their worst by far when they are away from Forks. When I’m thinking about whether a movie is successful, I try to think about the choices made by the director and how many they got right. These movies had four directors (Catherine Hardwicke, Chris Weitz, David Slade, Bill Condon) but as a body they hold together well stylistically. With the source material available to work with, it’s frankly sort of amazing to me that the movies are as good as they are.
In short, skip the books and watch the movies if you’re interested at all in the series. And you will not hear that from me very often.

Today’s rewatch; 30 Days of Night. Directed by David Slade 2007. This movie is a super cool take on vampires in the far northern hemisphere. In Barrow Alaska, where the film takes place, there is about two months of darkness in the winter and in the summer the sun doesn’t set for almost 82 days. Cool thing about it is that actually happens and it isn’t fiction for the movie. Things that come out in a perpetual state of darkness are truly terrifying. #hallowsevehorror #30daysofnight #davidslade #30daysofnightmovie #alaskanwinter #vampires #horror #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrormovies #horrorfilms #scary #creepy #vampires #darkness #dannyhuston #ambersainsbury #horroraddict #horrorjunkie (at Barrow, Alaska) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwKRDcYFds9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19ge44aygl1rq

David Slade - Bandersnatch (2018) Well that was a bit of a disappointment... I have been a fan of Charlie Brooker who wrote this and most of Black Mirror for a long time, actually long before Black Mirror, I used to live in the UK and he had some amazing topical satirical shows on TV (Newswipe, Screenwipe and so on) which were completely unmissable. I love Black Mirror as well, even if it is becoming a bit of a parody of itself. Bandersnatch was, however, a gimmicky experience which rapidly moves from fun to infuriating as you keep looping back over yourself. The idea is to have a choose your own adventure movie, not a particularly new idea, we had the same in Portugal in the 90s where you could call up the TV station to chose one of two endings for a certain episode of a Brazilian soap, and I remember going to the Futuroscope in France where there was a film being played which used the same system of forking paths, only it went with the vote of the audience majority and not your own vote. The story itself is interesting, more because it's set in the 80s and scratches that nostalgic itch more than anything. The acting is good and so are the dialogues, in fact it could have been a pretty good episode of Black Mirror. However the way the film plays with ideas of free-will which frustrate the characters, end up having much the same effect on the viewer, you often feel like your decisions make no difference and as you replay the film you find that they often really make no difference. If the characters on screen are being controlled by you, you are being controlled by the false sense of freedom that the gimmick gives you. Maybe that was the point of the exercise...
