Stine

About This Movie

So, there's this film called Stine, and it really dives into the emotional weight of end-of-life care. The robot at the center is not your typical sci-fi gadget; it’s got this soulful presence. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, allowing you to sit with the heavy themes of love, loss, and what it means to care. Practical effects are understated but effective, adding a layer of authenticity to the robot’s interactions. The performances, especially from the patient, are genuinely moving, which makes you think about the human experience in a very poignant way. There’s an atmosphere that lingers long after viewing, capturing the fragility of life and the bonds we form, even with machines.
