Roger Ebert

This is a rare commercial film in which every scene, sequence, composition and line deepens the screenplay's themes.

The Guardian

Key to the film’s success is a trio of impressively nuanced performances that keep us constantly guessing as to each character’s true motivations.

Empire

Stylish, elegant, tense, cerebral, satirical and creepy. Garland’s directorial debut is his best work yet, while Vikander’s bold performance will short your circuits.

Variety

Exquisitely designed and electrically performed, this uncomplicated but subtly challenging film requires strong word of mouth if audiences abroad are to tap its porcelain surface.

The Hollywood Reporter

Despite a modest budget, ‘Ex Machina’ looks sleek and shiny, yet it suffers from third-act issues that promise psychological depth and dramatic punch but never quite delivers.

IMDb

It's ultimately the very good writing that underpins the success of this film.

IMDb

This movie is obviously allegorical, a fascinating tale about AI, but it is mainly about manipulation and power.
