As technology edges closer to our bodies, and the notion of genetic engineering and artificially intelligent drones begin to feel less outlandish, these age-old questions on the ethics and impact of science take on a more urgent dimension. ‘I Am Mother’ explores them with intelligence and style. Not only is it by far the best science fiction film to emerge from among the multitude of Netflix Originals, but cult gem status surely beckons. - Jake Watt Read Jake's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-i-am-mother-finally-a-great-netflix-sci-fi-film Head to https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/sff for more Sydney Film Festival reviews.

Bottle-episode sci-fi films have treated me pretty well in the past. _I Am Mother_ is not the greatest example of such a thing, but it is a fair one. Props in particular when it comes to the titular Mother, who absolutely feels realistic in this. _Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
