There's an intractable problem in our society in that many people who seek love and companionship fail to find someone. I'm Your Man is an exploration of the coming time when AI and robotics will be advanced enough to fill that void. When robots can be programmed to be a compatible partner, what will it mean for humanity? Will they just fill a necessary role for the loveless / unlovable, or will they negatively impact on what we see as a healthy relationship?
I'm Your Man tells the tale of Dr. Alma Felser (Maren Eggert), a single middle-aged researcher, as she reluctantly trials "dating" a companion robot (Dan Stevens) to ethically evaluate the technology. It's a thoughtful and sombre look at relationships, companionship, the fear of loneliness, and how technology may come to fulfill those needs. The film is treading familiar territory, though its novelty is in telling the story from a perspective the genre too often neglects.
