    he last thing that academic Alma (Maren Eggert) wants, following a messy breakup with

    a colleague, is a man. But in order to gain funds for her own research, she is persuaded
    to take part in a trial: for three weeks, she must live with Tom (a deft comic performance
    from Downton Abbey’s Dan Stevens), a humanoid robot that has been precision-tooled to
    be her perfect companion.

    Alma’s natural cynicism seems well placed. Tom has an unblinking LED-blue gaze and a
    database full of cornball compliments – “Your eyes are like two mountain lakes,” he
    informs her, with the same tone of polite interest that he uses when calculating the
    optimal angle of safety for her car seat. But Tom is programmed to learn from her
    responses. And even though, or perhaps because, Alma shuts him in a cupboard along
    with her ironing board and rejects his offer of a petal-strewn scented bath, he starts to
    more closely resemble the kind of man she could live with, or even love.

    There’s unexpected depth to this smart, Berlin-set relationship comedy. Unlike the
    similarly themed AI/human romance, Spike Jonze’s Her, I’m Your Man opts for an
    unshowy, real-world aesthetic and a less cynical outlook. But it asks pertinent questions
    about loneliness and a world in which algorithms can know us better than our human
    partners ever will.
    … as you're joining us from Vietnam, we have a small favour to ask. Tens of millions
    have placed their trust in the Guardian’s high-impact journalism since we started
    publishing 200 years ago, turning to us in moments of crisis, uncertainty, solidarity and
    hope. More than 1.5 million readers, from 180 countries, have recently taken the step to
    support us financially – keeping us open to all, and fiercely independent.
    With no shareholders or billionaire owner, we can set our own agenda and provide
    trustworthy journalism that’s free from commercial and political influence, offering a
    counterweight to the spread of misinformation. When it’s never mattered more, we can
    investigate and challenge without fear or favour.
