Desejos Ocultos

This was quite an intriguing watch, all the way up to the last 10 minutes when the plot twist came. I don't want to say what it was, but I will say it is completely without logic and just made me think, 'are they having a laugh?' it was so ludicrous and makes the previous hour and 15 minutes seem like a waste of time.

Life Like asks the same question all people ask themselves but it does so, from a different perspective.

This is a thoughtful, intriguing little film, that reminds us rather subtly of how we take what and who we are, very much for granted.

Acting is decent and the main character Henry is portrayed with a calm, endearing charm that keeps you watching.

There's an interesting twist in the end too I did not see coming. 6/10 from me.

Less than 20minutes in, and I couldn't stand Sofie. Did they have to make the character so selfish and self centred? She spoilt it for me because from then on I was biased by her character and barely concentrated on the rest of the movie objectively.

I dare anyone to watch and not want to strangle this character Could she be more freaking annoying...

With a little refinement this low-budget sexy sci-fi movie could have been seriously gripping and ultimately shocking. The central premise about interactions between humans and robots is intriguing and thought-provoking. It's offers some creepily sensual scenarios. The leads are good - especially Steven Strait as the robot, Henry. And it delivers some strong surprise twists toward the end. It's just a shame that the story is undermined by a sluggish start and a particularly annoying characterisation of the wife, Sofie, who is infuriatingly unlikeable. For the most part, however, it's quite well written - although the final plot twists needed more finessing. Still, worth a look.
