But why fingernails? The test, which is conducted by a sort of steampunk microwave invented by Love Institute's dogmatic technologist founder Duncan (Luke Wilson), requires a blood sacrifice from each of its subjects in order to work its magic, and in this reality fingernails betray the heart's secrets.
Despite having her love connection with Ryan (Jeremy Allen White), her boyfriend of three years, ratified by the test, Anna (Jessie Buckley) has her doubts about their relationship, and snaps up a job at the institute in an effort to gain a deeper understanding of romance.
She might have hoped for better than Hugh Grant marathons, negative punishment and blindfolded sniff tests.
Anna's real education begins when she strikes up an instant bond with her Love Institute colleague Amir (Riz Ahmed), one that's natural, passionate and reciprocal, everything her relationship isn't.
A cautionary tale about misplaced faith in algorithms and the deeply flawed figures behind them, keep reading as we break down how to watch Fingernails online. It's 100% FREE too, if you’re a new subscriber.
