Jessie Buckley in Fingernails

What: Movie
Where: In theatres
Genre: Drama
Why you should watch: Like a number of other 2023 releases (including Foe, The Beast and Dream Scenario), Christos Nikou’s Fingernails straddles the genres of drama, romance and science fiction. The Toronto-shot indie follows Anna (played by Jessie Buckley), who works at a mysterious institute that can gauge the sincerity of romantic feelings in a relationship. She begins to doubt her relationship with her boyfriend, Ryan (Jeremy Allen White) and develops feelings for her co-worker Amir (Riz Ahmed). Fingernails could tap into our current fears around AI and alienation and how this will affect our capacity to love.
