She gains a friend through the drug’s effects, but soon that friendship begins to shake reality. Director: Ian Sweeney Work time: 19 minutes 59 seconds 《Comments from the Staff》 This week’s top recommendation is “Figment.” The boundary between reality and imagination slowly begins to crumble, triggered by a drug-induced “imaginary friend,” and it’s a chilling experience. Loneliness may be the last emotion humans can’t overcome. After watching this 20-minute film, you’ll want to reexamine the contours of your own existence. ◆What is SAMANSA
