Leave your thoughts about I'm Your Man.
| Screen DailyWendy IdeIt asks pertinent questions about loneliness and a world in which algorithms can know us better than our human partners ever will. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisEdging now and then into the surreal, this unusual and tender little movie gingerly interrogates the gulf between digital and biological wiring. |
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternThe film is poetic in its turn, as well as deliciously funny, and pretty much perfect except for a slightly didactic coda. But that’s a minor flaw in a major achievement. To err, even slightly, is you know what. |
| TimeStephanie ZacharekI’m Your Man is funny in such a gentle way that you may not realize how piercing it is until after the credits have rolled. |
| Slant MagazineWilliam RepassThe film’s disarming romcom sensibilities are an unlikely yet fitting vehicle for timely ruminations on AI. |
| PolygonRoxana HadadiI’m Your Man offers a perspective on humanity that’s equally whimsical and melancholy, and its intimacy is a welcome change of pace in science fiction, a genre that too often mistakes violence and colonialism as the only drivers of drama. |
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshThe ending is ambiguous enough to be refreshingly un-clichéd. While “I’m Your Man” is very romantic in its own way, the movie is elevated by pondering not just love but life and our impending relationship to advanced artificial intelligence, a question that is surely already upon us. |
| The New YorkerAnthony LaneNever, though, has the evolution of an automaton been depicted with the extensive grace and wit that Dan Stevens, speaking good German with a slight British accent, brings to I’m Your Man. |
| Paste MagazineTara BennettGerman director Maria Schrader almost achieves that sweet spot with I’m Your Man, but gets a little muddled in her storytelling in the last minutes. That doesn’t take away from her subtle and mature study of loneliness and intimacy via technology. |
| TheWrapAlonso DuraldeThe rom-com veneer acts as the sugar that lets the film’s more serious medicine go down, and Schrader understands this territory well. |
