Calling a film that's deliberately paced for viewers to ruminate over and digest, slowly, a boring waste of time is why some people shouldn't review movies. It's ok to dislike something but say something meaningful or maybe consider what the director was attempting to do. Otherwise, you're just blathering and wasting readers' time. If you do I think you'll find something interesting, beautifully made, well acted, and worth the time you're willing to give it. It's a grounded sci-fi film that feels like it could be now; 15 years from now; or decades in the future. The story uses a family's AI companion to examine human relationships and how they may or may not change as our technology does. If AI truly revolutionizes beyond war making and medical technology into the human-like advancement of synthetics, After Yang feels like a close approximation to it.

Someone should bottle this film and sell it as an insomnia cure. If your life seems pointless and boring then you will probably relate to the slow and monotonous pace of this film. The unintelligible mumbling of the actors could have made this movie even longer if I had not fast-forwarded through the dull parts to make it end as soon as possible. I gave it half a star because it's not possible to give no stars.

'After Yang' is a good movie, plain and simple. My only negative would be how slow paced it is, like I definitely get why it is portrayed the way it is and it has its benefits in certain moments. However, it did take me out of events onscreen here and there. That aside, it's a well made film; there's plenty to chew on in terms of what it's attempting to tell. Colin Farrell, Jodie Turner-Smith, Malea Emma Tjandrawidjaja and Justin H. Min all do good work on the cast, while both the futuristic setting and the editing are further positives for this flick. I won't lie and say I loved it, because I didn't, but I'm glad I watched it.

watching paint dry would be more interesting

A thought provoking film about life and consciousness. The performances were all too shop shelf, and the direction kept the plot moving along - there were only a few muddled spots but that could have been tackled in one or another, but they were not long enough to undermine the film for me.

Peaceful, lovely little film about sudden loss in a family and how little we can truly ever know about another person. It's subtle and gentle and loving.

“There’s no language for it.” Pretty much sums up my reaction to this movie. If ever given the chance, I would love to try the tea flavor that encompasses this experience.

So exciting and overwhelmingly definitely put it on if you want your child to sleep, it did rain tho lol

i could watch the conversation about tea for hours

Despite the good performances I think the movie's musings on A.I. are pretty well worn territory and the instagramable/NPR approved vision of the future feels toothless.

One of the most boring movies I've ever seen…..

Terrible and not worth the time

Actors seemed half asleep. Volume so low had to turn volume on High. In the end there is nothing interesting about Yang. Director should consider another profession. Critics liked it, should have been a red flag. Little girl was only good actor.

If your ever having trouble sleeping put this movie on, you'll be asleep in no time.

In a way, it's like Bi-Centennial man with Robin Williams

Just watched this, late, over the weekend, and I still can't get it out of my head. One of the most beautiful and thought provoking films I've ever seen. No other film has ever captured the power of "a moment" and what it means to a life. Stunning cinematography, excellent acting, beautiful and subtle. A rare work... highly recommended.

Not for me. Slow, boring, and long. Some cool tech and visuals, but that doesn't make a movie.

Early on it doesn't give you enough information to justify it's painfully slow pace. That gives way to an increasingly elegant story of connection, loss and meaning.

From it's in depth storytelling about an androids life, to a sweet ending this is a film I have to recommend a lot. The dialogue may come of as panny sometimes and it does bring up familiar sci-fi tropes. But overall I would highly recommend this as it does bring clarity to the modern sci-fi. Grade: A

Terrible. The films goals matches the medium, soulless, dystopian, miserable acting, sophomoric cinematography. A prolific sign of the times. I feel sick. It's bad. it's not just bad – it's distressingly bad, pure cinematic despair.
