Robot Stories

This is a science fiction film, but like all excellent movies in the genre, the focus never strays from the human heart.

As a complete work, Robot Stories is a solid collection.

If you ever wondered how robots make love, here's your chance to find out.

Pak's writing has a simplicity that belies the film's emotional impact.

The most startling aspect of Robot Stories is not the mix that the director built from spare parts left on the curb but the evolving dramatic acumen of its maker; he's a talent with a future.

I was hoping to be blown away, but was left feeling much like the iPerson in the "Machine Love" segment -- kind of cold.

Robot Stories isn't any good. I don't say this lightly. There's no pleasure in giving new directors bad reviews and it's especially unpleasant when what's wrong with their work isn't a clumsy performance or two, a sagging second act or a repugnant worldview, but a near-total absence of filmmaking talent.
