7/10
A great film or a terrible film depending on what you're looking for

When I saw that this had a 3.x rating I wasn't expecting much. I found it to be a deeply intellectual study of humanity, which is probably why people looking for hot robot sex feel disappointed. Some of the dialogue has shades of Woody Allenish insights about the struggles of relationships, desire, and fulfillment.

I think parts of it could have ended up on the cutting room for, and some of the explorations could have gone a bit deeper, but overall it was engaging. I wasn't sure where it was going to end, and it was a worthwhile journey getting there.

Also, it was largely free of talk of AI evolution and robot rights and instead probed if robots could want things and if they "feel" anything. It turned out to be some of the best moments when the humans are trying to project their lack of fulfillment onto the robots seeking a common struggle where none exists.
