“I’m Your Man” is an unexpected delight, succeeding as a romantic comedy – and as much more.

TOP CRITIC
I’m Your Man is an enjoyable but essentially lightweight affair; it poses questions about love, freedom of will, and what it means to be human but doesn’t really attempt to answer them.

TOP CRITIC
The bittersweet tone provides just the right setting for an understated setting where holograms and sentient robots seem almost natural.

Honestly, if Jane Austen were alive and writing on a MacBook, she might come up with something like this.

I’m Your Man provided me with the opportunity to get out of my head and still spend some quality time with a Stevens character…

As if we’d be watching Blade Runner directed by Woody Allen… [or] Terminator directed by Godard. [Full review in Spanish]

This smart, original and idiosyncratic film is a delightful blend of science fiction and delicate, playful romance.

Newport This Week (RI)
The tonal register that I’m Your Man is working in is a tricky one – sardonic but sweet, philosophical but playful. Schrader manages it perfectly.

Next Best Picture
“It suggests it isnt romance thats the right R-word for this mostly platonic tale about the synchronization of two figures with different ways of looking at the world, but rediscovery.”

Im Your Man functions far more successfully as a low-stakes comedy with a surreal edge than a profound treatise on humanity.

Schrader does an impressive deep dive into human feelings while keeping things funny and oddly romantic.
