Built on the foundations of an all too believable, near-future dystopia, one riddled with the encroaching effects of climate change, amplified political discourse and outsourced human eradication firms, Humane is a strong debut for daughter of David, Caitlin Cronenberg. Retaining some of the families signature body-horror sequences, Humane takes more of an absurdist, dark comedy angle to some very real social issues, and nearly pulls it all off with a wry wink and a tongue buried very firmly in its cheek. While the central plot idea is well realised, I couldn't help but feel it got a little lost in the jumble of its own characters, and which parts of its plot it wanted to darkly chuckle at, and which ones it wanted to hit hard. Still, a great start that is enjoyably unsettling, if a little unfocused.
