‘Uncanny’: SBIFF Review
The darker side of artificial intelligence emerges in Uncanny, a deterministic drama played out on a domestic scale. Limited in scope and lacking either compelling casting or visual pyrotechnics, Matthew Leutwyler’s seventh feature is likely to find its best reception in ancillary.
Ten years after graduating from MIT at 19 with dual degrees in mechanical and computer engineering, robotics wunderkind David Kressen (Mark Webber) is still holed up in fortress-like Workspace 18, a contemporary high-tech Los Angeles lab sponsored by billionaire Simon Castle (Rainn Wilson). But now the time has come to share his innovations with the world outside and Castle has invited science journalist Joy Andrews (Lucy Griffiths) to visit Kressen’s live-work space over a week’s time to witness his masterwork, a humanoid robot that he’s dubbed “Adam.”
The Bottom Line “Uncanny” is an understatement
A former robotics engineer before taking up journalism, Andrews’ initial skepticism regarding Kressen’s AI creation quickly gives way to admiration, as she marvels at Adam’s lifelike appearance, realistic vocalization and superior programming that facilitates surprisingly normal conversation
