BlackBerry

Every era has its visionaries, and BlackBerry, co-written by director Matt Johnson and producer Matthew Miller, investigates the brilliance of the individuals that invented the world’s first smartphone. Recounting the Canadian company’s humble yet chaotic rise to market dominance, BlackBerry is a darkly comedic telling of the tragic tale of a company that revolutionized the way we communicate, before swiftly plummeting into obsolescence.

"With a good deal of zippy snark à la The Social Network and a sense of deadpan comedy straight from the Succession playbook, BlackBerry is the kind of mid-budget marvel that doesn’t seem to come around often anymore."
Steph Green, IndieWire
"It is a loving — and highly entertaining — ode to the outcasts who dream of nothing more than a life filled with fixing whirring gadgets and afternoons spent in Star Trek matinees."
Rafaela Sales Ross, The Playlist
