I just have one question

Why do we not have candidates like this in the US?

We saw "Ex Machina" and it was boring

I had skipped seeing Ex Machina when it was in the first-run theaters because the trailers made it look too much like a horror film. We finally saw it last week at the Brattle. The film is not horror, in the modern sense of "horror" = "shock and splatter" but it is intended to be horrific. Sadly, it fails to do anything it ought to do. 1/5 stars.

I waffled about one or two stars. It gets +1 for being remarkably technically accurate, including some hilarious screenshots of what I think was pretty simple C/C++ code. And the explanation of how the intelligence gets built and learns isn't grossly far off what we think the best in strong AI is doing today. But the film gets a -1 for gratuitous voyeuristic male-gaze full frontal nudity and sexism.
