Mesmerising

Rating: 8/10 (21 February 2016)

After watching Ex Machina, it was hard to describe it with a single adjective. It was unusual, captivating, suspenseful, in the best sense of each term. Most of all, this film made you think. I went into it pretty blindly, mostly because of a preference in the actors, and I was pleasantly surprised. You are constantly inclined to question what role each of the characters play. It is a simple plot, yet beautifully put together. The acting is great, the characters are unique and have depth within their dialogue and actions. The filming itself in terms of special effects and scenery is absolutely stunning. Definitely a must-see.
