They categorize this movie in the "romance" genre but this movie for me, is one of the creepiest movies of all time. It is so dark and illogically disturbing. The very idea is brilliant yet it shook to my core at some points. People often regard AI as this element which will replace human bond in a society or a silent opium that would take over humans' consciousness. This move does share some of that pessimism too.
It was so unsettling for me to watch the main character of Pheonix gradually getting fixated with an "AI". I mean, with all the PEOPLE around, the shifting of affinity from human beings to a machine is terrifying, really. I mean, if AI were to become THIS powerful in near future, I wonder if people would afford to even look at other people for a second.
What I absolutely loved about this movie is its ambience and aesthetics. I loved the colors used in this movie is simply eye-soothing; the dressing style low-key sends me back to those 80s movies where everything seemed to lively. However, the movie is much more unsettling than it is formal. Every person who acted in this movie were brilliant. I just loved how Pheonix portrays every character like he actually lives in them; he just adds up a whole new level to the movie.
Lastly, I found it disturbing yet I suggest everyone to watch this because this is a masterpiece.
