Marjorie Prime

A gentle story that is no less profound for being so.

As a sly chamber piece, it reassures and unsettles in equal, exquisitely calibrated measure.

The exchanges feel slightly redundant at times. The stagey origins of the material surface occasionally. Minor bumps, though, in a unique psychological journey.

The haunting and allusive Marjorie Prime is a sci-fi film set in the near future but its emotional resonance is bracingly immediate.

The film, with its coastal haze and its fickle gusts of rain, is likely to lodge in your memory. Or, as it will soon be called, your hard drive.

The virtues in Marjorie Prime are modest, but the muted cinematography by Sean Price Williams adds enormously to the blurred vision of reality the characters feel throughout, and the cast is first-rate.

An inventive and thought-provoking sci-fi film about memory, mortality, family, and technology.

[Michael] Almereyda's CV is chock-full of daring, unique directorial choices, and this film is no exception.

... a low-key meditation on grief and the power of memories that winds up feeling more manipulative than sincere.

Marjorie Prime is an impressive accomplishment, especially when you factor in the meager 13-day shooting schedule.

Marjorie Prime will undoubtedly mean something specific to everyone who sees it.

Thoughtful and original pictures like Marjorie Prime should be watched in this current climate, but a cinematic viewing is not necessary.
