It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

This is the path writer-director Shirlyn Wong's short film takes here. Early on it seems, Dafoe's character intends to kill the old lady (supposedly still his mom at that point) with his meal, then they look like a loving couple and finally we find out he is, in fact, a machine. That is also why he could not eat any fish. Or ice. Or did not help her when she was about to choke. Major turn of events here.I enjoyed watching these 9 minutes. The scenes with the ice were funny. I can't see any deep message in here or major emotional impact it could have had, but it's an entertaining short film and Willem Dafoe is fun to watch as always. The only thing Iwas a bit confused with was the ending. Did the other lady get him out of the garbage or did she have another of these robots and there was some kind of mass production. Anyway, give it a look. It is nicely done and the music used here fits it very well.
