The deepest feelings must be the same in “Equals”

By Jenny A.

During 101 minutes the emotional sci-fi romance from acclaimed director Drake Doremus (Like Crazy), Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult play Nia and Silas, two people who work together in a futuristic society known as “The Collective.” A seemingly utopian world, “The Collective” has ended crime and violence by genetically eliminating all human emotions.  Despite this, Nia and Silas can’t help noticing a growing attraction between them, leading them to a forbidden relationship—at first tentative, but then exploding into a passionate romance.  As suspicion begins to mount among their superiors, the couple will be forced to choose between going back to the safety of the lives they have always known, or risk it all to try and pull off a daring escape. Directed by Drake Doremus, this film  describes one of the weirdest romance which many feelings are suppressed in terms of in terms of vision. Stewart is skilled at expertly conveying much in even the smallest of gestures and love must be emotionless despite some passionate scenes. Definitely this story wraps you  up.
