Viewing Notes

via Netflix

Programmer Alex, recently hired to develop a robot child, is inspired by his pretty niece Eva, whose mother, his former lover, awakens some old feelings between them. Claudia Vega is fantastic in this as the niece.  She’s the centerpiece through which most of the events unfold and if she wasn’t as good as she is most of the film would fall apart.  This is a sci-fi film, but at the same time, this is very much about dealing with your past and it coming to catch up to you.  There’s a number of really touching moments and the effects work is fantastic.  This reminded me a lot of Asimov’s work quite a bit.  Really good sci-fi film that doesn’t lose the bit that makes that all work, humanity.
