The Patient series is about the near future where Earth is ruled by a religious dictatorship that sees the pursuit of deep meaningful relationships as a threat to freedom. Citizens are required to undergo regular check-ups for their memories and feelings to be closely monitored. The latest iteration sees two patients, Steve Carell and Domhnall Gleeson, waking up in a clinic where they have been asleep for 30 years. They must then find out why they’ve been put into this state and how they can escape it before their minds are wiped of all memories. The actors are also required to escape from their beds at regular intervals, however, given that the movie is shot in reverse, it’s not a problem. The film is written and directed by Ben Lewin and also stars Olivia Wilde, Evan Rachel Wood, and Maura Tierney.
