Alex Garland’s directorial debut Ex Machina is a futuristic thriller about a remarkably realistic robot (Alicia Vikander) who begins to realize that she’s superior to the puny humans who built her. Though the story sounds familiar, our Piers Marchant peels back it layers and debriefs the director in this week’s MovieStyle.
Meanwhile, our Philip Martin writes about Wild Tales, an anthology film from Argentina that explores the extremes human beings will go to exact revenge, and The Wrecking Crew, a 20-years-in-the-making documentary about the session musicians who dominated the Los Angeles recording scene in the ’60s. And Dan Lybarger reviews The Age of Adaline, about an apparently immortal woman looking for love with a much younger man.
This, and more, in this week's MovieStyle.
