I'm Your Man (2021)

Decent Enough German Robot-as-ideal-lover Movie about Loneliness - I'm Your Man review by PV

I enjoyed this, though as with Westworld and other robot stories and scifi generally,. one has to suspend one's disbelief massively.

What I liked was the context - the archaeology career of the main character who was believable, not overdone either way, not too feeble and not to 'strong and independent' as all wimminandgirl characters now are in Hollywood (a new cliche and stereotype).

The location of the famous Pergamon Museum on an island n Berlin, with the Market Gate of Miletus a backdrop to a scene..

A nice plot point I did not see coming connected to the main character's career which I did not see coming (no spoilers) but very clever and logical.

Brit actor Dan Stevens shows off his German no doubt acquired by that very expensive private school education.

It drags in the second half, so 4 stars. but it has some sublime moments., and some slick dialogue too, esp at the start. The flab appears in act 3. Some fun scenes too, though no sure I believe the sex scenes (no spoilers). It is FAR better when addressing issues of loneliness and what people want from friendships/relationships. And I liked the old father...

I liked it more than AI and much more than the tedious Ex Machina. The original Westworld movie is great as is Metropolis as a robot story. And the original Stepford Wives (1970s NOT the remakle and certainly NOT the yawnsome Don;t Worry Darling).

4 stars
