There are consistent shades of blue that inundates the spaces and clothing in the film, which sets a melancholic tone and kind of sets the path that Alma will eventually take. Director Maria Schrader (who also co-wrote the script) makes it apparent that Alma is lonely – we see it in her home space, which exists as a transient space for her to rest between reporting to work.

She clearly finds it off-putting that he’s not human, but is also obviously attracted to him. It is hilarious stuff watching Tom and Alma interact. I was initially confused to discover he was in I’m Your Man since it’s a German film, but he studied German at college, and speaks the language fluently. Stevens is amazing as an A.I, completely believable in the role. But her boss is insistent, and so she reluctantly agrees after he makes her some career promises.Įnter Tom, a gorgeous humanoid, played wonderfully by Dan Stevens, who reminded me a tad of Jude Law’s role in Steven Spielberg’s A.I, only Tom is made for the purpose of companionship instead.

Alma (Maren Eggert) is selected to test one of these A.Is, a decision she highly objects to. It involves a company able to build you a humanoid of your dreams, tailored to adapt to your needs and desires – the absolute epitome of artificial intelligence. This is where the premise of I’m Your Man comes in. Sometimes, you can do everything right, and the relationship still breaks. The falling in love part is great stuff – the air smells sweet, you glimpse butterflies fluttering in every direction. Yet, things still aren’t easy when it comes to love and relationships. Technology has opened up possibilities when it comes to dating: now we can meet people all the way on the other side of the world, or within seconds after swiping right on one of those dating apps.
