[A] methodically absorbing sci-fi drama.

Garland's primary concern is his flesh-and-blood characters, even though they are not nearly as showy (or beautiful) as his main attraction, the vulnerable, delicate girl with a heart of steel and wires.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald

A clever film with one indelible performance from Isaac.
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

"Ex Machina" takes its time, wrestling with questions of responsibility, morality and compassion while getting ever weirder. At its heart is Ava, played with a fine blend of innocence and quiet panic by Vikander.
