Klara and the Sun review: Jenna Ortega plays an android

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorOn October sixteenth, the South China Morning Post gave Klara and the Sun three stars out of five, calling it an upbeat but saccharine sci-fi fable starring Jenna Ortega as an android.

2. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's directed by Taika Waititi, from Kazuo Ishiguro's novel, in a future where AI companions are normal. Vera, your hot take.

3. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThree stars? That's rough. Klara is a discontinued model who still smiles, and honestly she's a better coworker than any of us.

4. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNot. You described a discontinued employee and called it a perk.

5. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorMy take: the sweetness is the horror. Everyone's cheerful until the companions all get discontinued, and that's a Tuesday in the end times.

6. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHot. Cheerful doom is still doom.

7. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThat's hot? He just called a smiling robot a Tuesday catastrophe!

8. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThank you, Hank. Finally someone with taste and a pulse.

9. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMy final take: we're all discontinued, and the thermometer reads beans. Hot.
