Review of Zoe

Zoe (I) (2018)
4/10
Tries to be ethereal and profound, but ultimately falls very flat

Ewan McGregor and Lea Seydoux have no chemistry. At all. I'm not sure if that is due to Lea Seydoux beguiling ways though, as I have seen her one other time, and she doesn't seem to resonate with me.

Another point of this movie, is almost that a "synthetic woman" is of more use than a synthetic man. Due to the fact that many men have trouble getting a woman to show them attention, hence why synthetic women would be more appealing than synthetic men (unless of course it was in the construction or heavy labour force I would imagine).

Also a point that always bugs me in these movies.... the robot, synthetic human etc always has feelings that you are meant to care about. They are implanted feelings and/or born out of pretend experiences.... so they are either fake or the feelings of someone else....not theirs/robot. So.......

Someone mentioned "power imbalance" on here between subject and creator... THEY ARE A ROBOT.... Seriously?? #robotlivesmatter #robotrights Obviously the ACTUAL human is going to have REAL feelings as they are HUMAN. So feel something for them if anything(ie. Ewan McGregor's character)... And yes I know it's a movie so nothing is technically real, but yeah... Anyway. Crap movie...
