What is The Matrix Resurrections about?
Plagued by strange memories, Neo's life takes an unexpected turn when he finds himself back inside the Matrix.
Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)
It leaves things open rather than tying them up.
Strange memories haunt a man whose dreamlike reality unravels, pulling him into a surreal, intimate adventure.
A late-night trip at a measured pace. Emotionally it is heavy.
