    This movie was real. Nice seeing a movie where people communicate. Not always perfectly, but at least they do it. Andrew Garfield is just one of my favs. Florence Pugh actually surprised me in this one.

    Great film with some fun twists. 

    Pros:

    Cons:

I think using human actors to play AI characters is a dangerous move because it humanises the characters…

    Very good film. Well paced. Acting was fantastic. I don’t really have to say too much about it other than that I enjoyed it 👍

    Edit: one last thing to add is I appreciated the fact that a good story was told without having to use swearing or sex to make it more interesting 🙏
