Review of I'm Your Man

I'm Your Man (2021)
Charming and thought-provoking
17 October 2021
The possible intersections of artificial intelligence, authenticity, human feeling and romance have been mined in many ways in books and film before, but "I'm Your Man" brings a delicacy and fresh and contemporary feel to the concept. It dances between gentle comedy and pathos; it sparks your imagination and makes you ponder "what if?" It's slow-paced but engrossing throughout, building layers. The actors are fantastic, especially Dan Stevens - instead of playing it broad, his is a light touch, combining adorability, mystery, innocence and subtle comedy. I found myself a bit unsatisfied at the ending, but I think that's because we're all hard-wired to expect the big romantic wrap-up, but really anything else would have been off-kilter and not in keeping with the tone of the film. In short, this is a charming movie that makes you think - and root for the female character to get beyond her intellectualism and patterns of thought and simply indulge in happiness.
