The Artifice Girl2023

In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

‘The Artifice Girl’ is more interested in existential musings about technology than pushing woke messaging. There's modern moral framing, but it steers clear of heavy-handed identity politics. Mostly, it's a thoughtful sci-fi drama, a rare case of Silicon Valley anxiety over woke sermonizing.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While the story explores AI ethics and pedophilia prevention, it centers on compelling character development rather than ham-fisted identity politics. The gender of the AI is used for thematic effect, but not as an overt ideological statement. Forced representation and flawless hero tropes are mostly absent.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional social roles and religion take a back seat to technological and moral themes. Masculinity, family, and tradition are not mocked but neither are they central; they’re largely sidelined for a silicon-age moral debate. Some revisionism in the AI’s portrayal of humanity is present.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

The film frames its ethical questions through a mostly modern lens, and doesn't earnestly present opposing worldviews or conservative arguments. However, it stops short of overtly ridiculing alternative viewpoints, instead leaving some room for debate, if not representation.
