    In the age of large language models and the general public knowing more about programming than they did in 2015, parts of this movie feel amusingly dated.

    But it's not really about AI, and insofar as it is, it asks questions we've yet to answer.

    The highlight of this movie is easily its comedy. Rosamund Pike in particular is the standout as Elspeth Catton with many laugh-out-loud, outrageous lines. Jacob Elordi lives up to the hype with an overall strong performance as Felix.

    Any classification of this movie as a psychological horror or thriller or anything of the…
