Colin Farrell and Jodie Turner-Smith play a married couple who adopt a Chinese girl. To help her appreciate her heritage, they buy an Asian android (or as they call it, a technosapien). When he malfunctions, Farrell goes on a quest to repair him, while examining their lives without him. This is subtly set in the future, other than the android, hints of a self-driving car and a distant cityscape, there’s almost nothing to suggest a sci-fi world. Instead, this is an intimate personal drama with plenty of lingering wide shots, a snail’s pace and lots of silence. As a result, it’s a dry assessment of the family that lacks much emotion or warmth.
