Editor Kathryn J. Schubert shaped the rhythm. On an edit-heavy film, the editor does more to control your pulse than the director.

I expected Marjorie Prime to present me with some sort of philosophical quandary, however, I expected that quandary to relate to the standard robot stuff: Identity, humanity, what it means to be alive, that old chestnut. Instead, Marjorie Prime philosophises about memory, and beyond that, truth. Still doesn't stop it from being pretty crap though. Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product.
