Dennis Harvey Variety Aug 10
None of this is remotely credible, or particularly suspenseful. But it is handled with reasonable aplomb by director Kate Dolan and her cast, who do their best to elevate material that can only be raised so far. Go to Full Review
David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter Aug 4
The movie is more watchable than you might expect, and the cast is appealing. But one of its issues is the amount of plot overlap with last year’s Companion, a sharper satirical jab at toxic relationships and technophobia. Go to Full Review

Let [this film] serve as a reminder to film executives everywhere: Not every sleeper hit needs to become an unofficial trilogy. Go to Full Review

3/10
This film plays all of its cards way too early, and doesn’t know how to have fun with its silliness. Go to Full Review
Murjani Rawls Substream Magazine Aug 11
Dolan's film lightly asks the same questions about female autonomy with an avatar and tech intrusions into our everyday lives, albeit not with definitiveness, but with hesitation. Go to Full Review
Connor Petrey Pop Culture Leftovers Aug 11
It’s a solid science fiction tale, although it suffers from an unremarkable plot that lacks surprise and an ending that entirely misses the mark. I wouldn’t have been surprised if the original goal was to have M3GAN appear in a post-credits sequence. Go to Full Review

Spooner D @RT55205770 2d More lazy writing. A waste of time. See more Ewing L @Ewing_Lopez 4d Definitely not buying a robot at all interesting movie not the worst I’ve seen. See more Kate D @Kated87 4d The only redeeming quality about this movie is that some anti feminist out there will watch it and realize even the female robots dont want them. See more Olivier R @RT28403837 4d This film is certainly the worst in the genre: Companion, Ex-Machina, Artifice Girl, The Stepford Wives, M3gan, Her, Robots, some of those movies were pretty bad, but ALL of them are head and shoulders above this cliché farce of a script. If you are going to portray a software engineer, maybe take 5 minutes actually talking to one... Literally no one would handle this situation that poorly. The main character might as well be wearing a name tag that reads "plot device". The first hour was trite and formulaic, but at least it didn't insult the viewer's intelligence... Not merely a waste of time, but also offensively blunt & inane. See more Cinema S @cinema_sensei 5d The concept had enough potential to make something genuinely creepy and thought-provoking, but I didn't feel the movie fully took advantage of it. There are some decent moments and the AI relationship creates a few uncomfortable situations, but overall it feels fairly predictable. I enjoyed parts of it, but by the end, it felt more like an average sci-fi thriller than something memorable. See more Dusty R @Otter1028 6d In the genre of killer robots that has gotten a bit hot again, this one isn't the worst. I actually enjoyed the movie for what it was. I knew exactly what I was getting, and that is exactly what it delivered. No surprises really at all. Overall execution and acting was pretty good. The android was played well by that actress.
