Advantageous

Advantageous (2015) is an American sci-fi drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director and co-writer Jennifer Phang built the film around a single quiet question: how far would a mother go to secure her daughter's future? Jacqueline Kim stars as Gwen, and the film debuted at Sundance, where it won a Special Jury Award for collaborative vision.

Gwen is the public face of a corporation selling a consciousness-transfer procedure. When the company decides her image is outdated, she faces a brutal choice: lose her income in a city where the economic floor keeps dropping, or undergo the very process she's been selling to others. Her daughter Jules is 13 and brilliant. The cost of keeping her future open is Gwen herself.

Phang works without spectacle — no action sequences, no dystopian rubble. The dread is economic and intimate. Stream Advantageous (2015) online on iFILM.
