Taking place in the near future, Transfer focuses on a couple who are struggling with the decision of partaking in a new piece of technology that allows their consciousness to be transferred, for periods of time, to younger bodies. The film is demure, focusing its energy on telling a story about the people involved and how they, both the older couple whose consciousness is being transferred and the individuals who volunteer themselves as the vessels, deal with the effects. It's a fascinating story, one that is well executed and which still resonates with me, months after seeing it – a great feat in today’s world of showy yet ultimately forgettable sci-fi.
