i watched this in my english class and honestly didn't expect that much going into it, but this was genuienly a super fun, cute and slightly touching movie, that i actually enjoyed watching.

the writing was pretty nice, the characters were enjoyable and this had a very even balance between humorous and deeper parts, which didn't make this feel overloaded on either side.

not a perfect movie but definetly a great one :)

I have a soft spot for charming Sundance indie movies that make me feel something by the end, while shredding some light on a heavier subject matter. Robot & Frank is no different, with pointed commentary on opt, intentional or not.  The robot that a dementia-stricken ex-con Frank Langella is given to assist with tasks is able to say no to any of his demands (except for petty theft, which is pretty cathartic to see to the wealthy asshole that pre-Succession Jeremy Strong plays; who the robot ironically acts much more human than), the ideal of what a robot or AI should be used for, rather than as a total obedient servant who can’t say no: the latter is how we get the horrible slop and porn from Grok and Sora.  The script is able to tastefully deal with dementia while keeping a lighter touch, helped by a great performance by Langella, leading to a final reveal that got me in the feels.  It’s a shame that, with the exception of some Beef episodes, director Jake Schreier has mostly made IP for-hire films since, because he pulled off a solid debut indie feature. Too bad Liv Tyler is so wooden she drags each of her scenes down.

Bem interessante. É um filme acadêmico, ou seja, o roteirista e o diretor estrearam com essa peça como trabalho final. E pra um filme universitário o nível é extraordinário. Um pouco cru no segundo ato, falta uma pitada de energia em momentos, mas tem uma premissa tocante e pouco vista. Um sci-fi intimista misturado com filme de assalto.

Jeremy Strong novão nesse filme me surpreendeu (aliás, como eles conseguiram esse elenco fortíssimo eu não tenho a mínima ideia)
