The Real Review

This one's getting a shrug and a head-scratch. People are mostly just confused by Andrew Niccol's latest, a story about a grieving boy, Tom, who can talk to objects like a voiced-up pop can lid. The high-concept premise, with voices from Ethan Hawke and Jemaine Clement, is the only thing that really lands for a few viewers. For most, the journey from grief to healing feels vague and emotionally hollow, leaving the whole film feeling like a missed opportunity.
