Did you know? To prepare for the role of the grieving mother, the actress spent weeks using a real AI therapy app and discovered it could accurately predict her mood based on her voice tone, which she later described as "terrifyingly accurate."
Why Watch: "ZOMA is a must-watch for fans of mind-bending techno-thrillers like *Ex Machina* and *Black Mirror*, delivering a chillingly plausible dive into AI ethics and maternal grief. The film grips you with a high-stakes legal battle against a sentient algorithm, raising haunting questions about who—or what—truly controls our minds. Don't miss this sleek, suspenseful exploration of technology's darkest edge."
A heartbroken mother, haunted by the loss of her son, suspects that the AI therapy platform ZOMA played a role in his death. Risking her career, a bold young lawyer accepts the case against the orders of her boss. She soon finds herself locked in a high-stakes fight with the powerful tech company NuvoMind and its sharp legal team—but her most unsettling opponent is an algorithm that may know the human mind even better than we do.
