Reviews

“a moving, weirdly human exploration of artificial companionship”
Wired Magazine

“Besides the fascinating topic, interesting subjects and the love taken by the filmmaker to portray these people, this is also an expertly put-together film.”
Spotlight Toronto

“arguably the most terrifying film I have seen in a long time”

About This Video

The desire to bring to life the perfect artificial woman is as old as Pygmalion, but new technologies are making its realization ever more likely. In this provocative and eye-opening documentary, you'll journey from the outer limits of science fiction fantasy—visiting classic scenes of fembots in film and television—to the current-day reality of artificial companions, from life-sized silicone love dolls to humanoid robots. Narrated by screen icon and former television android Julie Newmar.
