PROs + great questions + lots of Cameron raw thoughts & thinking process + great Cameron career knowledge + 1991 production gig + pre-Titanic Avatar script story (spoiler) + some great tasty bits of Avatar + sneak peak into Cameron's writer's mentality + cameron's dreaming of the narrative metadata story

• closing soundtrack does not fit indie movie style
• too simplistic screenplay choice revenge story line

+ well presented story 2 parallel story lines of present & past + full of life passion protagonist well played by Brigitte Bardot + modern or rather 1960s time "Romeo & Juliet" story + great choice of soundtrack & use of it to replicate film mood & characters + interesting take on love, morale &/ relationships at the court through the eyes of judiciary system

• very abrupt ending, leaving out any kind of morale from the director

In a nutshell, recommended for those that like spicy dramas contra soap ones.

PROS:

• well juxtaposed machine and human brain challenge
• great story with all key milestones: intro, climax, conclusion
• good choice of characters and how are they presented

CONS:

• does not give more details into the Deepmind AlphaGo setup (e.g. how they improved)
• would be curious to see/learn more about he
• presenting better the team and how they work together as it is not one person game

PROs:

• European director giving realness to the movie although shots are very polished and clean; wide shots vs closeups to showcase the hardship of being absorbed by drugs
• great family/parenting topic, where parents cannot live the thought that kids leave them and they are responsible for their lifes and how they lived it one does not have a say, but we're all *selfish*
• well shown teenagers life via the eyes of father and his B-shot memories

CONs:

• Long takes makes film *too slow* and one simply ask why director is trying watchers patience, but perhaps indirectly he wants us to reflect upon the things that is happening within the long scenes when things have taken place already
• cast choice, especially Steve Carell who mostly know as *comedian* than the drama guy and you can see in the movie that he's struggling emphasize emotion, but this could be part of the character complexity
• happy ending is not expected throughout the movie, but it is good that director/script keeps spectators believing in the happy future
