Life Like

Overall an original and striking film. There are certain scenes where the script is brilliant and it is a film that really makes some interesting points. Flow is good, though some bits seem stilted...like the business which we never really know what it does and never see more than a handful of people in. Despite this, the main actors are good and the twist is excellent and unexpected. I wish they had done the build up and reveal better, and not had much film after the twist was revealed as it would have had greater impact.

But anyway, worth the watch.

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.

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.

Sophie is a complete and utter chore of a woman. I cannot, for the life of me, understand why this guy would tether himself to someone who is so immensely self-absorbed, vapid, boring and utterly aimless. All she ever does is criticize the very life she married into. Then she tries to change the lives of everybody else around her. Then she expects everyone to conform to whatever she thinks things need to be. This is a joyless and exceedingly irritating character and I only came here less than 20 minutes into the movie to say that. So we'll see if she manages to change my mind and if she does I'll be back here to edit, but for now we need to just off Sophie. I mean seriously he needs to let her go and just find somebody better.

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