KB B I thought it was really well done with an interesting premise. Then there was the non ending. It's like they couldn't come up with a decent ending so it just ended without little resolution. Therefore I took off a star. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/03/24 Full Review Fernando R "A maternal dilemma used as a hook for a mundane human quest." Awesome performances!

Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/11/23 Full Review Tony K For a film format, it was pretty dry. Possibly coming up with this idea would have been a great episode for Black Mirror. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/27/23 Full Review georgan g Enjoyed this sci fi drama about social injustice. It shows how women have to put their children ahead of their own needs. Also, touches on friendship, family & how we all need fairness to succeed. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This was not for me. I'd had this in my Netflix queue for months and decided to watch it as one of the items, series or movie, I still had in my list before I shut down service as there's just not much there for me anymore. I found the pacing too slow, even for me, which is saying something as I really try to be patient and allow things to play out and develop the ideas a movie has. I was also confused and bored at times. I feel that there were points in the story line that weren't fleshed out nearly enough to clairfy their necessity. Performances were fine, though I felt the daughter's acting, especially her body language, was rather depressing. The movie also really only touched on sci-fi briefly. The change into 'Gwen 2.0' was more a matter of fitting an age group and race demographic than working on ideas in a purely science context. And the use of futuristic tech like hologram calls and voice activations are more like eventual IT developments we're headed towards in due time. This was something of a waste of some skilled actors, namely Jacqueline Kim and Jennifer Ehle. 2.6 stars Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
