Movie Bio:

How would you react if the perfect partner were created for you — designed to respond to your every conscious or unconscious need? For scientist Alma Felser (Maren Eggert), the reaction is instant skepticism. She is reluctant when offered a job evaluating a new line of humanoid cyborgs to determine what rights they should be granted in society. She believes it takes more than millions of data points collected from the human population to make a human being. But when research funding for her cuneiform studies at Berlin’s Pergamon Museum is dangled, Alma agrees to a three-week trial with Tom (Dan Stevens), an English-accented, rumba-dancing robot who is relentlessly eager to serve one purpose: her happiness.

The film also shows the lack of adult intervention which causes Cal to grow up into an individual lacking a moral compass

During the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) we covered a variety of films and had the pleasure of interviewing Jack Lowden and director Terence Davies on their new film called Benediction. It tells the story of Siegfried Sassoon and how PTSD, war, poetry, and more affected his life.

Movie Bio:

Writer-director Terence Davies was last at the Festival with the Emily Dickenson biopic A Quiet Passion. A companion to its predecessor, Davies’ latest is a sumptuous portrait of 20th-century English poet Siegfried Sassoon, and the first time the filmmaker has explicitly portrayed love and desire between men.

Benediction’s form is a lyrical stream of consciousness, following associations of memory rather than chronology. Davies crafts Sassoon’s experience of the First World War in layers of heroism (he was decorated for bravery on the Western Front), loss, and unfathomable trauma.

We sat down with Michael Shannon from Nine Perfect Strangers to get his take on the show, why we need to support those who serve, and some insights into his secret future projects.
