Consumed (2024 film)
Consumed is a 2024 American psychological thriller film directed by Daryl Wein. The film stars Zoey Deutch, Gregg Sulkin, and Joey King.
The plot centers around Sophie (Zoey Deutch), a young woman with unexplained health problems who becomes convinced that environmental toxins are the cause. As she delves deeper into her investigation, she uncovers a conspiracy involving genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and a powerful corporation. The film explores themes of paranoia, conspiracy theories, environmental activism, and the impact of modern food production on human health.
Consumed premiered at the South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Festival in March 2024. It received mixed reviews, with critics praising Deutch's performance but criticizing the film's heavy-handed approach to its subject matter and perceived lack of nuance. Some critics also noted the film's potential to fuel misinformation surrounding GMOs. The film was released theatrically and on demand in the United States in April 2024.
