Simon, Scott and Sarah, a trio of activists with intellectual disabilities, hold a town hall meeting about the future impacts of artificial intelligence. Simon, considering himself a savior for the community, quickly appoints himself the mayor, and Scott reluctantly steps into the role of facilitator, but soon becomes enamored with his own power and begins to dismiss the experiences of others. Sarah, often overlooked and underestimated by her counterparts, explodes, confronting the self-appointed leaders on their inadequacies. What begins as a polite discussion quickly descends into bickering and chaos, seemingly provoked by a force within. Sarah acts to unite the group, only to realize the battle to get their message across may be lost already.

4/5
Shadow is one of the significant movies of the year. Those who are for inclusivity and don’t partake in the heinous act of othering people who are, for the lack of a better term, atypical will find echoes of their belief system in this film. Go to Full Review Sean Fallon Film Inquiry 09/17/2022
At once funny, sad, and confronting, Shadow is anchored by three incredible performances. Go to Full Review Simon Miraudo Movie Squad (RTRFM 92.1) 07/08/2022
3.5/5
A fascinating (and often very funny) film project that prods and pokes its audience--especially those who might pat themselves on the back for seeing it without fully engaging with it. Go to Full Review Andrew Osborne culturevulture.net 04/18/2022
