Archive

All in all, Archive is good, bleak, shivery fun, and however familiar some of its components may seem, it thrums with an intelligence that's anything but artificial.

For all the familiarity, the movie has the brio of good pulp and a neat surprise in store.

Rothery's soulful, at times surreal SF debut works on multiple levels as, certainly, a very modern ghost story but also as a paranoid thriller, a yearning romance and an introspective tragedy, full of hubris and catastrophe

An interesting if derivative science fiction movie...although I don't think it will surprise or startle, it takes something we've seen before and does it in a stylish way.

Archive is refreshingly non-cerebral - and that's a compliment. It's a sci-fi movie that wants to entertain, not deliver a lecture on AI.

Asking what happens if a machine replicates free will so well that it begins to form its own desires contrary to that of its creator, Archive is a unique take on love and loss

This accomplished sci-fi flick should be appreciated more widely.

One of the most visually stunning debuts of the year... The production design is outstanding with a welcome predisposition for practical sets and effects.

A poignant cocktail of grief and science fiction.

The clock is clearly ticking and for all of science fiction's visual cues, there's a nerve-rattling tension to Archive that owes more to horror.
