reception

Bernd Haasis from the Stuttgarter Nachrichten thinks that the force of the content helps overcome weaknesses in the staging of Federico D'Alessandro's horror chamber play. TAU's face is an oscillating echo of the HAL on-board computer in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey , probably the most prominent cinema AI , Haasis continues. Even if Julia's friendship with TAU does not have the depth of the romance in Spike Jonzes Her , in which Joaquin Phoenix's character falls in love with an operating system, it is closer to the present and very close to Harari .
