Zoe: a film in the vein of Black Mirror with a certain charm for the spectators

A start-up is revolutionizing the love life of human beings thanks to artificial intelligence. She creates machines capable of measuring the compatibility of two people. In addition, she develops synthetic companions that look like falling in love with humans. These robots are designed to understand the feelings of others and to love their partner. In this business that haggles over human relationships, Cole Ainsley (Ewan McGregor) takes care of designing the fictitious beings. Zoe (Léa Seydoux) supervises the laboratory and the evaluation tests of the machines. Gradually, the two colleagues grow closer and develop feelings for each other.

This love story is born in a particular environment. It questions the sincerity and the origin of the feelings that beings can manifest. The fictional companions, who look just like men, lead the viewer to question the limits of artificial intelligence.

Internet users have noted the particular atmosphere of the show, which echoes other films or futuristic series.

One character in particular nourishes this reflection. It's about an upsetting synthetic prostitute named Jewels and portrayed by Christina Aguilera. She particularly moved her fans on the web:

Translation: I love @xtina in the movie #ZOE2018 #ZOE. It's an incredible movie.

Translation: Give him the Oscar now! @xtina plays Jewels in the film #Zoe, a synthetic prostitute.

The rest of the cast also wowed viewers.

Translation: @drakedoremus Congratulations on such an amazing film @zoe, a beautiful love story with great performances by @mcgregor_ewan, Lea Seydoux and the rest of the cast and with an outstanding soundtrack.

Some take the opportunity to thank the director Drake Doremus, known for his film Equals with Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult, or for Madness with Jennifer Lawrence.

Translation: He did. He fucking did it again! I love how he loves love. Its beauty, its reality, its failure, its complexity. So simple, yet so deep. Thank you #drakedoremus.

In a word, the fans are won over!

Translation: #Zoe is a film that leaves you with a heavy heart, which questions you about what it is to be human and what love is. I felt a lot of things watching it. #netflix
