He sits in a craftsman house in the desert, watching the people he “birthed” on old TVs, while recording momentous events on VHS (the retro tech is never explained). When one of his charges dies unexpectedly, 5 new entities (unborn souls?) must interview to become a human. Duke heads a cast of actors who stretch their dramatic talents with involving performances, including Tony Hale, Zazie Beetz and Bill Skarsgård. This is one of those tedious, pretentious experiments that may appeal to people who like esoteric, poetic musings on life. For the rest of us, the pace is deadly and there isn’t really a story, just a string of mind games disguised as tests (and dramatic opportunities for the actors).

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Slow and boring, The movie tries so hard to get me attached yet I can't recall most of the characters names nor do I connect with them. Will tries to find the person with the best traits for life as if we are born with a personality and stuck with it, the movie implies we are who we are because we are born that way, I disagree! If I was born and raised in different conditions I would never be the same person, because my experiences shaped me and they continue to do that every moment of my life. the group of people he was "testing" already had a personality and reacted the way they did because they had experiences, they had lived. But the movie limited this to the girl at the end (Emma) as if she was the unique one and all the rest were generic. Good acting, music, visuals but the story and the ideas and the lines are just bad.… Expand

For me it was boring. I know it sends a message and is more philosophical and wants to express it in a different way and while I understood the idea it tries to bring, I found it boring for me. Just not my taste - if you like such movies,For me it was boring.
