Smart Sci-Fi, Well Acted

Rating: 9/10 (19 July 2015)

This movie has stuck with me since I saw it. I'll have to revisit it for it is growing in stature in my mind, so need to validate that is is worthy of that growing stature.
A VERY smart Sci-Fi film. Basically, a "3 hander" between Domhnall Gleeson, Alicia Vikander and Oscar Isaac. Isaac is an inventor who creates the perfect (or so he thinks) AI (Artificial Intelligence). He invites Domhnall Gleeson's character to his lab to conduct the Turing test on the AI (Vikander). What unfolds in the next hour and a half fascinated/entertained me greatly. I wasn't a big fan of Isaac's before this, but am now seeking out EVERYTHING he has done. Vikander really drives this movie forward while Gleeson grounds it in reality. Smartly written, well acted and well directed. I haven't been this thrilled walking out of a movie in a long time.
A MUST SEE. Certainly the best film I have seen (thus far) in 2015.
4 (out of 5) stars and you can take that to the BANK (of Marquis)
