Reviews

Interesting ideas and a bit pretentious with the dialogue at times, this one reminded me a bit of The Butterfly Effect. I was mostly confused throughout the entire thing, but can at least admire the performances from both Dylan O'Brien and Maika Monroe, albeit every character doesn't have a whole lot of depth. I normally enjoy mysteries but this one was way out there for me to follow or care about by the end. I'll give it this much, it is unique... **3.0/5**

Flashback is more than just a mind-bending thriller; it's a profound exploration of reality, choice, and enlightenment, deeply rooted in Gnostic philosophy. The film follows Fred, whose life takes a radical turn when he decides to defy the conventional path—literally driving the wrong way on a one-way street. This act symbolizes his break from societal norms and the start of his journey toward higher understanding. At the heart of the film is the concept of the demiurge—a deceptive force from Gnostic teachings known as Yaldabaoth. This invasive life-form seeks to control consciousness by imposing the illusion of the material world, using constructs like language, numbers, color, and shape to keep us confined. It manipulates our perception of time, making us believe in a linear progression of cause and effect, thereby limiting our ability to see the true nature of reality. Fred's experiences aren't just flashbacks; they're revelations that all moments exist simultaneously. The non-linear narrative mirrors this truth, challenging the idea that time is a straight line. When Fred starts taking "Merc," it's not just a drug—it's a symbol of the Gnostic "Monad," the ultimate source of oneness and truth. This substance temporarily frees him from the demiurge's influence, allowing him to perceive reality without the usual filters. Cindy, the enigmatic figure in Fred's life, represents gnosis—the knowledge of spiritual mysteries. She guides him to question everything he's been taught. When she says, "I don't want to be like them—just giving things labels, labeling things that are infinite and unknowable," she's urging him to see beyond the superficial layers imposed by the demiurge. A pivotal moment comes when Fred pieces together a message that encapsulates his awakening: *"The system you are using to interpret reality is not one of your choosing. Numbers. Language. Color. Shape. All a misinterpretation of the information around you—a misinterpretation imposed on you by an invasive life-form that is trying to control your consciousness. The substance you ingested temporarily counteracts the influence of this invasive life-form that forces you to perceive information as it does: in a linear fashion. To perceive choices as having inescapable outcomes—outcomes it has dictated, thereby controlling all of your choices and, in effect, eliminating them. It achieves this by influencing you to perceive the most elaborate of all misinterpretations... Time."* This realization is a direct confrontation with the demiurge's deception. Fred understands that his perceived reality is a construct designed to limit him. By breaking free from this illusion, he gains the power to make authentic choices. Throughout his journey, Fred begins to reclaim his life. He excels in his finals, delivers a stellar presentation, finds true love, and makes peace with his mother's passing. In doing so, he integrates all facets of his existence, transcending the barriers imposed by the false reality. There's a beautiful symmetry in how his relationships intertwine—perhaps recognizing that Cindy and his mother are reflections of the same guiding force toward enlightenment. Flashback ultimately conveys that we're not bound by the limitations others place upon us or the ones we've accepted ourselves. The film encourages us to question the structures that define our reality and to recognize our innate power to choose. By seeing through the illusion of linear time and the constructs of the material world, we can awaken to our true potential. In essence, the movie is a modern reflection of Gnostic teachings—a call to shed the illusions crafted by the demiurge and to embrace the profound freedom that comes with true knowledge. It's a reminder that enlightenment isn't about escaping reality but about seeing it for what it truly is and reclaiming our power within it.
