Janelle Monáe's Dirty Computer felt like a 48-minute celebration of queer love, black and female power, and the nonconforming individual identity. Essentially, it was a series of music videos for a selection of her new album's tracks, to which were interwoven into the very fabric of a dystopian sci-fi tale. Think Grease, only edgier, sexier, and much more modern.

Dirty Computer tells the story of Jane 57821 (starring Janelle Monáe). She lives in a dystopian future where all of its citizens are referred to as "computers." And in this society, the great divide is between those labeled "clean computers" and "dirty computers." Those with a clean mind forget their past, their individual identity, and their rebellious nature; they conform to the status quo.

Without going into much detail, one can understand why Monáe refers to this project as an 'Emotion Picture.' From the mass assortment of creative clothing to the cinematic relationships conveyed throughout the film, you're left both enchanted and emotionally drained by the time it ends. Jam-packed with action, music, and love, this perfectly-executed futuristic tale felt like quintessential Janelle Monáe!
