Quick Review: This was wholesome. It’s a small indie British film about a lonely man who creates a robot to have a friend around his life. It’s a small film but there’s a lot of heart in the film. It’s beautifully shot and the mockumentary style is pretty good. I liked how it switches from documentary to narrative. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Brian and Charles. It’s funny and sweet. The ending is emotional and happy. The coloring in this film is very great and it pops off when it’s blue. I liked the building of awkward relationships in this film including the love relationships. It got creative with its shots, directing, and pace of the film. While it’s definitely slow and takes time to get to know these people, it helps build relationships over time. It can be a little bit draggy and not going in any direction. I thought the bully was typical and I’m glad they got bullied back in the end. I would say that it was kind of empty between the second and third acts but the final act was the strongest part. The first 20 minutes were definitely the best part but after that, it was slow which bothered me. It’s not that slow but it can take a while to get to the good stuff of the film. In the end, this is just a buddy film with a robot and I liked it. It may not be for everyone but I thought it was pretty good overall. Could’ve used more cabbage. Now Streaming on Peacock and VOD.
