      Barrett F Apparently too far out in 2002, in light of recent events it becomes much more interesting, if not quite prescient. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/01/23 Full Review clare k The script is terrible, the plot makes no sense, but I enjoyed it anyway! It's colourful, fun and surprisingly heartwarming in places… and Tilda Swindon - in four roles - is sensational. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member What a weird movie. The computer and just general effects are like Tron only this was released in 2002. I'm confused. What a great cast-i'm sure they're in it with the idea that is either funny or important but it's not either. W e i r d. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member This film uses the phrase 'bio-gender warfare'. Tilda Swinton is on screen most of the time. It's really funny and at first you think it's not meant to be funny, but finally you realise that, it is. "Can a human get a computer virus?" "Yes", the scientist responds. This is sci-fi that isn't trying to convince you. It makes you nostalgic for an earlier internet that never really existed. TIlda Swinton is on screen most of the time. Are her wigs meant to be terrible? How did this film get made? I'm glad it did. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member 2/10 wtf is this shit Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Uma mistura de mulher clone e ciborgue espalha um vírus pela população masculina da região, oferecendo sexo gratuito. O filme é ruim, mas tem alguns pontos altos como a pergunta: "como é que é possível patentear algo vivo?" Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Jonathan Foreman New York Post Fails as entertainment, being so ineptly directed and written it often has the feel of a high school production by kids with more money and ambition than talent. Rated: 1.5/4 Feb 20, 2004 Full Review Dave Kehr New York Times A minor addition to the tiny genre of feminist science fiction films. Rated: 2/5 Feb 19, 2004 Full Review Laura Sinagra Village Voice It's a quiet tour de force for Tilda Swinton. Feb 18, 2004 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 1.5/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A silly mad scientist film dealing mostly with feminist issues. Rated: B- Sep 22, 2004 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com viewers have to endure new media artist Lynn Hershman Leeson's uncomfortable attempts at taking her cracking-stiff theories and translating them into dramatic narrative form Rated: 1.5/5 Feb 20, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews
