Rooted in genuine charm and the brilliant performance by Frank Langella, Robot & Frank steals your heart.

| Nov 27, 2019

Robot & Frank is a sensitive and heart-warming story thanks to the strong lead performance from [Frank] Langella.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 25, 2019

I know what you're thinking: you couldn't drag me to see a buddy movie about some batty old guy and his robot butler. But Robot & Frank is far better than it has any right to be.

A cute independent film, with a little something at its core to make it a cut above similar independent sugary narratives.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 8, 2019

Presents us with a refreshingly understated, optimistic and highly plausible version of our future with technology.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 9, 2019

It's a funny, quirky little story. It won't blow you away, but I found it refreshing.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 14, 2018

It's OK, I guess, as far as it goes, but it doesn't go far enough, and, in the end, settles for what I most feared it would settle for: sentimentality.

| Sep 4, 2018

It's a lot of fun - frothy on top but with a lot more going on underneath.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 27, 2018

Robot & Frank nonetheless feels like a story in search of an emotional pay-off.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 21, 2018

"Robot & Frank" is a real charmer.

| Feb 22, 2018

Robot & Frank, on the other hand, is a tonic of a film: it's all understatement. The whimsical but whip-smart tone suggests a liveaction version of a Pixar movie

| Oct 3, 2017

Genuinely funny and, by its closing chapter, heart-wrenching, [Jake] Schreier and [Christopher D.] Ford's debut feature is simultaneously one of the most safely uncontroversial and idiosyncratically lovely small scale sci-fi movies in a while.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 19, 2017

Ageing, isolation, broken families, memory and the impact of modern technology are all playfully woven through a smart, comforting narrative that's at once immensely satisfying yet wonderfully unexpected.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 5, 2017

I, for one, really hope that the future becomes what it is in Robot & Frank.

| Sep 20, 2016

Christopher D. Ford's script deftly explores all the film's relationships with knowing good humor, and the action moves along swiftly enough so we never stop to say, "Hey, wait a minute ..."

| Original Score: 4 of 5 | Jun 10, 2016

One of the few movies I've seen where the future is not a dystopic nightmare, 3D-generated phantasmagoria, or otherwise unbelievable peek into a not-too-distant hellworld.

| Jan 22, 2014

FRANK & ROBOT is a poignant tale of man and machine

| Nov 8, 2013

While the premise certainly makes it stand out from the sea of dysfunctional family dramas, a cute idea alone doesn't quite cut it.

| Original Score: C | Jul 10, 2013

A slightly futuristic treatise on aging, family and the pitfalls of mechanical screenwriting.

| Original Score: B- | May 26, 2013

Christopher D. Ford's seamless screenplay provides a light-comedy vehicle that Langella rides to a satisfyingly original, epiphanic finale.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 21, 2013
