First review. Had to make an account to say this. The movie is really beautiful and raises a lot of questions I really had never thought about before. I went through a series of different emotions during this film and I thought it was really great. Performances were strong, the movie itself is beautifully shot... I might watch it again.

The slow pacing will turn off many, but the story and implications of the subject matter fascinated me so much that I watched it a second time, this time through the eyes of knowing what was going to happen.

This could have been a very good movie. The plot is good and the acting is good, but being bombarded by "emotional" music (some even with lyrics) again and again and again, really cancels out the emotion it was supposed to evoke (in me at least).

First off the movie is long and slow but it's gorgeous and thoughtful and posits a number of ideas related to AI and human/machine relationships once we've figured out how to surpass the uncanny valley and create unmistakably human like androids. How will they feel? Will they love, can we love them? What is love anyway? Both Ewan Macgregor and Lea Seydoux are stellar as they explore love, jealousy and loss between human and sentient machine. If you're patient and thoughtful, a very rewarding film.

This movie is absolutely worth watching, probably more than once. Excellent story. Excellent performances. Just a beautifully done film.
