Ex Machina -2014- ((install)) -

Even the helicopter at the end is ambiguous. Does Ava pass as human? She’s at a crowded crosswalk, no one notices her. But Garland cuts before any interaction. We never see her speak to a stranger. The film ends not with a verdict, but with a question: Does the world need to recognize her for her consciousness to be real?

: Widely considered a modern masterpiece, it holds a 92% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and was praised for its smart storytelling and "Kubrick-esque" precision. ex machina -2014-
