Lucy Mangan Guardian Eternal You is soberly directed by Hans Block and Moritz Riesewieck and beautifully balanced, looking at the motivations of users and creators, at the influence of the money involved, plus what the individual and collective pros and cons could be. Rated: 5/5 Oct 30, 2024 Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times Even when the tech works, this dark dive into the world of death-themed start-ups makes for troubling viewing. Rated: 4/5 Jul 13, 2024 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) It’s hard not to watch this without a mounting sense of dread and a suspicion that a fairly significant Rubicon has been crossed. Rated: 4/5 Jul 1, 2024 Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) To me it looked like a high-tech version of the psychics who preyed on grieving families after the First World War, with just as gruesome results. Nov 9, 2024 Full Review Barbara Ellen Observer (UK) If grief is a heartbreaking but necessary process, won’t this just stall it? One of the documentary’s experts sagely likens the technology to a proxy for religion and eternal life. It makes for a riveting but highly disturbing watch. Rated: 4/5 Nov 3, 2024 Full Review Abe Friedtanzer Cinema Daily US Even for those who would never even consider the idea of talking to an AI imitating a loved one, they won’t soon be able to forget what this documentary showcases. Rated: B+ Jul 24, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
