Yes, here’s yet another film about rogue A.I. and just how bad things can so quickly go from perfection to hellscape. It has some class, though, and stands out from many you may have seen. The movie takes a long time to move forward, even appearing to drone on a bit too long with scenes that “rinse and repeat” several times, but these are necessary as they place the viewer in the same headspace of despair and weary anger as the protagonist.
We see her daily routine at the retreat, which includes a lot of sleeping, jogging, moping, drinking - in fact, a lot of everything except writing her novel, which she came there to attempt to do.
Interspersed with these scenes are unpleasant, even harrowing, interludes with someone else, who also desperately wanted to write and receive recognition once.
I will stop here and not spoil the story - but I will say that my best advice is to stay with it, as the movie does have payoff that explains a whole lot about what we saw before. The actors, including the A.I. do a fine job, and the glimpses of English countryside are pretty marvelous.
