New Showbiz Analysis

Mouse-X is a contained science-fiction mystery that centers on the psychological struggle of a single individual. The film's central conceit—the duplication of one man—creates a structural barrier to diverse perspectives. By design, the narrative architecture favors the repetition of a single identity, leading to a narrow social scope. The film functions as a character study of the self, but it operates within a vacuum that avoids engagement with broader systemic or cultural realities.

Official Synopsis

Mouse-X is a mystery/sci-fi story about Anderson, a man who wakes in a building with no idea where he is or how he got there, before slowly discovering that in each of the rooms around him are a thousand clones of himself, all of whom woke into the same mysterious scenario. To escape he needs to outwit his 'selves' whilst overcoming the realization that he is not the only Anderson.
