As I grow older and deal with more life experiences, some good and some bad, it’s interesting to see how that reflects on the wide range of films I see. O Horizon is ostensibly a film about how a character deals with their grief over the loss of a parent. That’s not new subject matter for indie dramas, but writer/director Madeleine Rotzler has made some interesting choices that allow for some humor to come out of this story and, more importantly, the role technology can play in sorting emotions out. More specifically, O Horizon has a working relationship with artificial intelligence, a hot-button topic that could be questionable depending on how it is utilized. Here, however, we have a story that finds an emotional understanding and reasons to debate the usage of A.I., delivering a sweet-natured film in the process.
