The pros don’t come from trustworthy sources and the cons require a lot more elaboration. Go to Full Review Tim Grierson Screen International 3d
Roher’s willingness to blindly accept any and all of his speakers’ pronouncements leaves The AI Doc feeling toothless. Go to Full Review Caryn James The Hollywood Reporter 3d
The style all but shouts that it’s a movie with talking heads that doesn’t want to be boring, and there’s a hyper feel to the pacing, as if the directors were afraid to slow down. But those strategies largely work. Go to Full Review Cole Groth FandomWire 1d
8/10
