In this intimate romance, Sundance darling Michael Almereyda excels at presenting high-concept sci-fi questions in humane and moving ways. With towering performances by Lois Smith and Jon Hamm, Marjorie Prime delivers a gripping and tender reflection on love and identity.

Delightfully playful, this postmodern portrait explores an offbeat life of invention by rejecting conventional biopic form. With stylistic whimsies ranging from omniscient narration to an anachronistic synthpop performance, Michael Almereyda’s rich meditation on legacy is positively electric.
