Ex Machina - Recensioner

...brings to mind crisp speculative sci-fi prose, before taking an arbitrary left turn into the territory of corny slasher thrillers.

The entire story is emotionally and geographically intimate, at times suffocating, unfolding in and around Nathan's stronghold.

Stylish, elegant, tense, cerebral, satirical and creepy. Garland’s directorial debut is his best work yet...

...a dazzlingly good-looking technological thriller that occasionally dresses its weightier questions of the nature of intelligence – both artificial and natural – in the clothing of a somewhat salacious exploitation movie...

…en film att bli glad av; kaxig, tankeväckande och hela tiden engagerande.

Som kammerspil kunne den opføres i teateret, for plotmekanismerne er klassiske, mens trekanten mellem Caleb, Nathan og Ava rummer alt det, der skal til for at fremstille kanon.

I Garlands hænder er skabelsesberetningen blevet et ildevarslende skakspil mellem to kvikke, men væsensforskellige mænd - og deres kreation.
