Walter finds... In a dreary, depopulated world where technology has been outlawed, a reclusive scientist named Walter secretly creates a self-aware android in his own image and names him Puzzlehead. Walter finds Puzzlehead useful - as a project, his companion, his housekeeper, and most significantly his connection to the outside world. Like a child, Puzzlehead develops his own personality and self-awareness through his experiences, ultimately leading to a curious love triangle when Puzzlehead meets Julia, a woman whom Walter has yearned for but never dared to approach. When Walter impersonates Puzzlehead to pursue Julia himself, the android and his maker are drawn into a sinister spiral of passion and betrayal. [More]

5/10

Brian Holcomb

A gothic tale with roots deep in Shelly's Frankenstein. Bai takes the part that most adaptations toss out, the moral education of the monster, and puts it front and center.

3/4

Maitland McDonagh

Despite the low budget, the film is handsomely designed and well acted, and Bai's inventiveness turns what could easily have been liabilities into assets.

3.5/5

Jeannette Catsoulis

Puzzlehead reveals the selfishness of creation with style, originality and the understanding that even a tin man can have a heart.
