Robots (I) (2023)
6/10
silly but enjoyable

While Sharliene's performance is a shining beacon in this cinematic tale, the same cannot be said for the lead actor. His portrayal leaves much to be desired and, unfortunately, is a significant drawback to an otherwise engaging movie. The character he embodies, central to the film's plot, is portrayed with a level of detestability that, at times, becomes challenging to separate from the actor himself. It's unclear whether this is a testament to the actor's skill in immersing himself in the role or if there's a fundamental lack of nuance in his performance.

The character in question is meant to evoke a sense of ambiguity and complexity, but instead, the actor's interpretation leads to a strong aversion. Whether intentional or not, the result is a character that the audience loves to hate, but in a way that leaves a bitter aftertaste. While a certain degree of disdain for a character can enhance a movie, the challenge here lies in distinguishing whether it's the character or the actor's execution that elicits such a strong negative reaction.
