In this glossy indie sci-fi drama, a female robotics scientist and her adulterous husband relocate for a new start and her work to a pristine smart-house in the countryside, and they are gifted a humanoid robot by the company to serve their needs. Set in a similar near-future to TV's Humans, inevitably the robot starts to break programming as it becomes fixated on the woman and manipulates the situation as her trust in her husband starts to erode. Although competently shot and performed, this rather simple and low-powered story trundles along in a somewhat listless fashion, livening up a bit in the final act, even if it ends with a generic Final-Girl-on-a-roof sequence and a final shot that will make your eyes roll.
