Saoirse Ronan and Paul Mescal, two stars with long careers ahead of them, take a tumble into fuzzy AI-related science fiction, directed by 'Lion's' Garth Davis.
The metaphors loom large — then land with a thud — in Garth Davis’ lo-fi sci-fi experiment “Foe.” It could have been a valiant effort, but the “Lion” filmmaker fails to build the world on which his futurist philosophizing rests, leaving us only with a muddled melodrama about artificial intelligence and romantic partnership, ideas that have been more thoroughly and thoughtfully plumbed elsewhere.
In the opening scene there’s a knock at the door: Terrence informs Junior he has to go colonize space whether he wants to or not, and Hen is not invited to join. Something’s not adding up here — they’re all just too weird. Nothing about this relationship or these characters in this place rings true, but it’s unclear if that’s intentional or not. Golden-eyed Terrence bears bottles of wine and a persuasive tone.
