Directed by Drew Hancock, this intriguing debut film takes audiences into a not-so-distant future. The story centers on Josh, who purchases Iris, a robot engineered for emotional support. This advanced female android has been programmed to view herself as human and to fulfill all her owner's desires, ranging from daily chores to intimate interactions. Users can personalize her appearance, voice, and even adjust her intelligence and temperament to meet their needs. However, Josh harbors dark intentions—planning to eliminate a millionaire associate linked to the Russian mafia and seize his wealth. Chaos ensues when Iris begins to act unpredictably. The film features dynamic cinematography and a nostalgic visual style. One notable scene, depicting the initial encounter between Josh and Iris, pays homage to the 1975 satire, which explores the theme of obedient robotic wives. Other moments in the film echo contemporary sci-fi masterpieces like Spike Jonze's "Her" and "Under the Skin." The creators delve into the complexities of human-technology relationships and the potential uprising of machines, ultimately suggesting that these androids may exhibit more humanity than their creators.
