Trivia
The car of the main character, Lara, doesn't make the sound you'd expect from a Beetle of 1973. Nicknamed 'Blue,' the Beetle has been converted into an electric car. For writer-director Victoria Warmerdam, this choice subtly reflects Lara's unique essence. Additionally, Lara's blue jacket was carefully matched to the color of her car.

Goofs
At 20:38, as Lara is running, the rooftop is covered in sunshine. After the camera sweeps back and forth towards Daan, the sun is suddenly gone and there is an overcast. This shows that the scene with the stand-in was cut in at that camera sweep.

Crazy credits
The end credits roll during the final scene.

A Brilliant Exploration of Humanity and Identity

"I'm Not a Robot," directed by Victoria Warmerdam, is an extraordinary short film that masterfully blends humor, emotion, and thought-provoking themes. It challenges our understanding of identity in an increasingly digital world with an intriguing and refreshingly original concept.

Ellen Parren delivers a standout performance as Lara, navigating the delicate balance between absurdity and genuine self-reflection. Warmerdam's direction is sharp, blending subtle satire with poignant moments that linger long after the credits roll.

Visually striking and emotionally resonant, the film is both entertaining and deeply profound. "I'm Not a Robot" is a cinematic gem that deserves every bit of the acclaim it's received. A must-watch for anyone seeking art that entertains while encouraging introspection.
