Reviews:
“Bird’s writing gets too caught up in exposition, especially in the third act, as connections need to be explained. However, the answers aren’t all that interesting, and it doesn’t help to have Meyers basically sleepwalking through the movie, showing very little interest in giving William a defined presence in the tale. More animated is Kampouris, who does very well with an exploitative part…” 5 out of 10, Blu-ray.com

“At the core of the film, there is a mystery plot that, while functional, feels like it drags a bit, and some revelations towards the end feel more like a post-credit scene than an actual ending. The implications are interesting, and it would make a good sequel, but at the same time, they are not as strong to make you feel completely satisfied when the credits start rolling.” 7 out of 10, Fiction Horizon

Wifelike is not an all-out action film so don’t go in expecting bang for your buck, but it’s a well-produced and entertaining thriller with great performances that build a human/AI world where everything blurs between what is real and what isn’t.” Flickering Myth

“Bird’s intentions are probably good. They’re just woefully misguided—partly because of generic science-fiction conventions, such as the primary theme of the sentience and agency of artificially intelligent life, and partly because the screenplay is more interested in plot than its characters. It’s a pretty predictable mystery…” 1.5 out of 4, Mark Reviews Movies
