Alicia Vikander is garnering a lot of award season buzz for her role in The Danish Girl, which is great, but you really need to see her in Ex Machina. She plays an advanced AI (aka an artificially intelligent robot), a creation of a mysterious billionaire. A young man (Domhnall Gleeson) comes to test her, but it's hard to determine who is really testing whom. The twists in this movie will keep you on the edge of your seat; it's truly not like any other recent film.
