    I thought this was an incredibly interesting guess into futurism and how humanity will relate to sentient artificial intelligence. The sets/prop design were impressive as were the acting performances. It might be a bit techno-twee for folks but I thought everything was well executed.

    Story-wise, the last third didn't do it for me and I think it'd take a second viewing in order to truly get what Bujalski was attempting in his narrative (or lack thereof). His use of a 1960s black and white video camera was incredibly bold and enthralling. As a media preservationist, it's heartening to see someone create a period piece like this with such technology.
