Ratings and reviews

Fascinating movie, but know what you're getting into. The description calling it a thriller is misleading. This is not a sexy action movie. It is a slow exploration of humanity loaded with artistic filmmaking decisions. Be prepared to sit up and pay close attention, or you'll mistake this for boring.

Far better than I thought it would be. Interesting story questioning what makes us human and if another species took on our mantle of humanity would they become us or want to remain us.

Brilliant concept exceptionally well written, cast and filmed. Take the time to watch, to think, and to use your own imagination to make that leap in understanding something more intellectual, then you will love this. If you need stories (movies) spoon fed to you to understand then do not watch this movie. Example: an image of a woman on a horse followed by the main character stating, "there us a woman on a horse". That is not this movie.
