To be human

 

After Yang (2021)


Written & directed by Kogonada this film stars Colin Farrell, Jodie Turner-Smith, Justin H. Min and Malea Emma Tjandrawidjaja. A family tries to come to terms with the loss of the older android sibling of their adopted daughter.


Taking a number of familiar sci-fi themes this film puts a uniquely human spin on them. It would have been very easy for this film to fall into using cheap plot twists but I love the way it sticks with telling an intimate story instead. This is exactly the sort of film A24 does well and is another fine art house effort from the studio.


4/5
