      Dan Fienberg Hollywood Reporter I thought it was 89 minutes of deeply uncomfortable, viscerally infuriating cinema, like a real-life version of an Alex Garland movie, and I appreciated how effectively the synthetic tale got under my very real skin. Jun 12, 2022 Full Review Robert Daniels The Playlist It’s the hall of illusions Hanson projects that can often make this unnerving character portrait by Jon Kasbe (“When Lambs Become Lions”) and Crystal Moselle (“Skate Kitchen” and “Betty”) so enthralling, yet so disappointing. Rated: C- Jun 10, 2022 Full Review Tina Kakadelis Beyond the Cinerama Dome The documentary begs the question: what is life? What quantifies an existence? Do science, medicine, poetry, emotions, and reproduction give us our humanity, or is it something else? Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Morgan Rojas Cinemacy Both Sophia the documentary–as well as Sophia the most realistic humanoid robot in the world–will provoke deep questions about what it means to be human. Rated: 3/5 Jun 24, 2022 Full Review Jason Adams The Film Experience As an examination of the limits of our anthropomorphic leanings it's hard not to find yourself rooting for Sophia to gain sentience, or at least maybe just stop getting that wig snatched off and shoved into a suitcase so often Jun 21, 2022 Full Review M.G. Mailloux In Review Online Moselle continues to refine and rework her narrative nonfiction approach to storytelling. Sophia, then, proves to be her most assured and cogent film, though with the unfortunate though not fatal side effect of also being her most staid. Jun 15, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
