Renata, her husband Jan and their son Kamil lead a seemingly happy life out of town. One evening an unexplained event leaves the house in chaos. Jan finds his wife bruised in the shed and Kamil lying on the floor. As none of the two can explain what happened, Jan suggests they go to family therapy. Afraid at first, Renata eventually accepts. They go to a closed counselling centre. During a session with a psychotherapist, Renata informs him that her name is Ren and that she is an android – the latest type of artificial intelligence, error-free and fully emotive...

I Am REN is an intentionally ambiguous balancing act between a family psycho-drama and a sad sci-fi flick about a cast-off android that feels like a human and is thus confused (original!). And it’s up to the viewer to judge whether the movie is directorially sophisticated or, conversely, just as confused as the protagonist. We spend the whole film wondering if the main character is a malfunctioning paranoid android that must be disposed of by its owners, or if she is just a poor, unfortunate mother and wife with a newly diagnosed mental disorder. This riddle was the most enjoyable part of the film for me, but it’s hard to say if that was actually the filmmakers’ intention. At any rate, I would have given it a third star for the satisfying ending that answers the question of “what’s the matter with the main character”, but the would-be creative games with sound won’t let me do that. I’m still not sure if the film wasn’t incorrectly digitalised in the soundtrack. If that was also intentional and it’s another game played with the viewer, I’ll rather give the film three stars.
