A.I.: Artificial Intelligence

Spielberg’s future world is densely detailed and, although the film is tonally inconsistent, this remains one of the director’s most interesting and underrated works.

A confined domestic drama, a considerable morality tale, a fleeting futuristic noir, a persecution parable, an on-the-nose fairy tale adventure... and then it keeps going.

Provocative movie suitable for teens.

At heart it's a terribly anguished expression of rejection, loneliness and love. If only it knew when to stop.

What makes this world so compelling is that Spielberg shows us, as few others could have, how ordinary people like ourselves feel living in it.

At least it restates HAL's case with commendable vehemence and a kaleidoscopic ingenuity.

Steven Spielberg has managed the seemingly impossible: a harmonious marriage of his own brand of glowing optimism and the cynical, alienating style of the late Stanley Kubrick.

A movie with magical moments and force but lacking in sustained narrative power.

A.I. isn't without a few hiccups, but in my opinion, is severely underrated when it comes to Spielberg's credits as a director.

... a dark, visionary fairy tale. Call it a cyberpunk 'Pinocchio' with a robot boy who wants to be human despite the cruelty and hate he finds on his odyssey.
