Jandy Hardesty’s review published on Letterboxd:
My favorite kind of sci-fi is the kind that's very near future (or parallel), where the world is basically ours but with slight differences. That's pretty much the case here, where voice control of electronics is the norm, earpieces are omnipresent and inconsequential, and VI is just giving way to AI. It's certainly not the first time a filmmaker has explored what happens when humans enter a relationship with AI (I mean, that's what A.I.: Artificial Intelligence is about), but the question remains a fascinating one.
Besides the intellectual interest, though, the film really highlights the emotional aspects thanks to moving performances from Phoenix and Johansson (I really enjoyed Lucy, but her voice-only performance here of a character going through a similar transition is astounding), whimsical art direction, and hazily stunning cinematography.
So, what I'm saying is, I liked it.
