Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) 01/21/2021
4/5
All in all, Archive is good, bleak, shivery fun, and however familiar some of its components may seem, it thrums with an intelligence that's anything but artificial. Go to Full Review
Danny Leigh Financial Times 01/20/2021
3/5
For all the familiarity, the movie has the brio of good pulp and a neat surprise in store. Go to Full Review
Anton Bitel Sight & Sound 01/19/2021
Rothery's soulful, at times surreal SF debut works on multiple levels as, certainly, a very modern ghost story but also as a paranoid thriller, a yearning romance and an introspective tragedy, full of hubris and catastrophe Go to Full Review
Jennifer Bisset CNET 03/29/2023

Harper @Sam8008135 17h The man in this movie is so annoying. I literally yelled at my tv 20+ times for him to shut up. "Why dont you talk to me when youre being less dramatic" he says to the stunted shadow of a himan he made and is now stripping for parts to make another copy of a woman who NEVER wanted this. I wanted him to get stabbed by J2 about 40 minutes into the movie. George almore blows and not even well See more Kalissa H. @kali_416 20h I wasn’t a big fan of the J2 storyline. I would’ve liked it to focus more on being archived and turned into a robot. Could’ve been some body horror. I really liked the twist ending though See more Dexter S @dexter549 Dec 28 glued to my seat, took my breath away at the ending See more D. Hunter P Oct 28 The visual style was nice, and it was a simple little romantic plotline. Its one of those solitary movies in the same realm as Moon. I'd say that if you like Moon, you will like this one. See more Frans B @FransB Oct 23 Brilliant! Visually stunning, great cinematography and very intelligently written story. Whole cast excels in character. Very intriguing and captivating. Not so far fetched as it seems, imo. Enjoyed it very much See more Craig K @Cracky Jul 15 Excellent movie! Loved the sci-fi. tech, AI, and suspense. Cool ending! See more Read all reviews
