Ex Machina
There is a lot I can say about this movie. To me it appears to be a story about misogyny and how women are treated as much as it is about survival and behavior in isolation (for ALL the characters).
The character insights at the beginning of this movie is truly amazing. The depth each character has is incredible and the world building is also phenomenal; not to mention I absolutely LOVE the setting and how it contributes to the story. There are so many motivations that each of the characters have that are spoken/unspoken and can be subtly picked up on from the character’s micro emotions, behaviors, and even the way they dress.
The camera placement was purposeful and unique and I enjoyed it.
The dancing scene was hilarious and honestly my favorite part of the movie.
It was unexpectedly horror at times, which was uncomfortable but enjoyable.
I could keep writing for days on this one. I would love to return and watch this again.
