In a quiet residential area, four domestic robots suddenly decide to take their masters hostage in their own home. Locked together, a not-quite-so-blended family, an intrusive neighbor and her enterprising sex-robot are now forced to put up with each other in an increasingly hysterical atmosphere! While, outside, the Yonyx, the latest generation of androids, are trying to take over. As the threat draws closer, the humans look elsewhere, get jealous, and rip into each other under the bewildered eyes of their indoor robots. Maybe it's the robots who've got a soul -- or not!

Critics Consensus

Jeunet fans will find the whimsy they seek within BigBug, although it isn't enough to make this mishmash more than intermittently engaging.

Wacky! What is what it is. Go to Full Review

2/5
Occasionally, the director registers a dry aside about the cost of living with tech, only to be drowned out by his own racket. Go to Full Review
Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter 02/12/2022
More exhausting than inventive, dishing out a few good ideas about domestic life in the not-too-distant future amid jokes that tend to play like relics of the past... Go to Full Review
Daniel Allen Loud and Clear Reviews 07/25/2024
4/5
It is part dystopian drama, part comedy farce. Full of child-like imagination but surprisingly horny... And yet, Jeunet must have performed some form of alchemy because all of these elements work well together. Go to Full Review

Netflix’s oddball film Bigbug is bonkers, for better or worse. Probably worse. Go to Full Review

Jim S @js2727272727 Jul 21 Truly weird. Imaginative, great acting. You have to get into the zone. Don't expect a typical movie. I wish they made more like this. This is from the director of City of Lost Children, one of my favorite movies ever, and Amelie. This is a piece of art. Have patience, don't expect a Marvel movie. See more prosaic s May 6 This film has a lovely aesthetic, a compelling cast, and makes for a create abet subdued viewing. The word subdued is critical, for this film despite occasionally having pretences of action is definitely more concerned with its human elements (who are constructed and acted well, although occasionally clichéd). The plot of the film is initially intriguing due to the apparent helplessness of the protagonists and their resulting relatability to the audience, although this choice forces the movie into a dous ex machina to reconcile the power imbalances between robot and human. This leads the ending to feel rushed or anticlimactic as the actions of the character in the preceding fight mattered little. Overall, worth the watch. See more Fernando L Mar 22 Película absolutamente deleznable. Sin sentido. Es intentar alargar un mismo tipo de cine que este director lleva haciendo desde hace años. Con algunos de sus actores que le acompañan cuán barco se va hundiendo. Casi dos horas insoportables para plantear un tema simplón. See more Herry S 07/18/2023 It was funny, 7 of them included A.I were trapped in the house locked by system, there is no human to treat such animal control by robots. So imagination too far LOL, But the funny thing was story about being trapped in the house the whole time See more Hung man H 04/11/2023 It is kind of weird movie. See more Michael K 01/22/2023 This is one of the most quirky yet highly enjoyable if not slightly creepy movies I've watched in a while. Great effects and a unique story with a bit of sci-fi, robot mutiny, and eclectic storytelling. Fantastic performances by the cast. A great soundtrack that's been well scored. I loved the creepy Yonx androids as they were super evil and very scary. Not everyone will enjoy it but man, this was cool to me. It's a French movie so I watched it with subtitles as the performances are better but there is an English dub that actually changes the way it feels especially the androids. Almost like watching a tweaked version of the original as it feels way more menacing. I highly recommend it if you like unique movies. It's way better than these reviews would have you think. French is the way to go, though. See more Read all reviews
