Why it’s a Weeknight Watch
With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- A natural pick for anyone who likes their monsters enormous and anyone who's wondered what makes us human. The scale is huge: humanity is very much the underdog. Shelve it next to Ex Machina or Blade Runner. Underneath the tech, it's asking what being human really means.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 8 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.
Ortensia is a mechanical ballerina, that every day is forced to dance for an audience, in a seemingly endless loop. But one day, she sees in the crowd someone drawing her: the first representation of herself as an individual.
