A Unique Take on AI and Relationships

The film delves into the dynamics of a relationship involving a companion robot named Iris, who is designed to cater to her boyfriend Josh's needs. As the story unfolds during a weekend retreat with friends, the narrative subverts traditional tropes of AI-driven narratives by focusing on the emotional and social complexities rather than simply showcasing the robot as a seductive object. The film cleverly threads humor and character development throughout, treating Iris as a nuanced character rather than a stereotypical 'sex bot.' This approach allows viewers to engage with the implications of AI in relationships while highlighting the importance of emotional connections and agency.
