On the surface, this initially appears to be a random film of random, often profane, interactions around Bucharest. And to spice things up, there are also what initially appear to be random clips from a 40 year old Romanian film spliced into the flow of things.
But there is a lot going on here. Themes of oppression and oppressor, the dark side of capitalism and it's willing/grudging supporters at all levels, misogyny, art's need for money and money's corruption of art plus no doubt a dozen other layers.
Ding the film a wee bit for running a bit too long. But hang in there. The last few scenes are the best, including the amazing apparently one shot final scene. Watch it with friends and family and then be ready to discuss.

Predictable, cliche, and filled with gaping plots holes, this formulaic sci-fi tropefest is still often a blast to watch. Megan Fox is creepy and scene stealing as an AI nanny with obvious ill intent. The rest of the cast fits into paint by numbers cliches who frequently do or say wildly improbable things. Sure it makes no sense on so many levels, but it was a hoot frequently yelling at the screen "No!!!!" or "Oh come on!!" Won't share plot details, but let's just say it's pretty much the opposite of a Hallmark movie. Who knows, maybe this will become a "holiday" film you and the adult members of the family can love to hate for years to come.
