Breathtaking

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2019)

A fascinating psychological thriller about AI, about its power and what it's creators responsibility is. Another "AI" movie sounds derivative but when the idea the idea of sexuality and manipulation is introduced, Ex Machina becomes a special one. The breathtaking Cinematography and score work together to give an eerie/tension filled atmosphere throughout the entire film making you feel isolated, which I think is the movies biggest strong point, as soon you and (Caleb) are introduced to Nathan's beautiful yet haunting estate, you're hooked. The performances are all great but Oscar Isaac as the genius- billionaire, Nathan is a stand out; brilliant, raw performance that sticks with you.
Incredible achievement considering this is also a directorial debut. Definitely in my top 10 favorite films.
