The Assessment (2024) review

Botanist Mia (Elizabeth Olsen) and programmer Aaryan (Himesh Patel) are a childless couple living in a futuristic "new world" and desperate to have a child, so assessor Virginia (Alicia Vikander) is sent to stay with them for a week and determine whether or not they'd be suitable parents, except she forces them to do difficult tasks (they have to work together to construct an intricate toy bunker), flicks food at them at the dinner table, almost drowns in the ocean, seduces both of them and destroys their property.  The topic itself is somewhat pertinent to our current times and it acts as a metaphor for the challenges adults face when they either want to adopt or use medical science to become pregnant, but the film raises too many questions it cannot answer and doesn't really make sense on its own terms - for example, what cataclysmic events took place that people are forced to live like this?  Why would reasonable individuals subject themselves to this level of torture and invasion of privacy for the slim chance they could reproduce?  It's understandable for an actual three-year-old to throw a tantrum, but what about when it's a 36-year-old woman simply playing "pretend?"  And lastly, in this post-apocalyptic hellscape, whatever happened to basic human psychology?  Did that get rewired as well?
