A Week with Rebecca

"A Week with Rebecca" feels much longer than its 28-minute running time, but in a good way. A hotshot tech employee, implied to be both a ladies' man and a loner, is "voluntold" to test the company's new female robot companion prototype and gets more than he bargained for when she turns out to be really, REALLY companionable. Although some plot elements may feel familiar, the narrative is thoughtful, understated, and well-developed. Nika Burnett deserves all the praise she has received for her performance as the titular Rebecca. Phil Kruse also does a solid job as the tech bro with a heart of gold.
