Hmmm. Ever since it came out, I have told people that _A.I. Artificial
Intelligence_ is "a mess of a film, but such an interesting mess." There
is no way I can reduce the film to statements like "I like it" or "it's a
bad film" without misrepresenting it somehow, but if there was any film
that might prompt me to make both statements, that might be it.
Then again, maybe I *don't* like it, but I think it's a *good* film for
all the questions it raises and all the thoughts it provokes. Hmmm.
