How does a reader square upbeat reactions to Luca Guadagnino‘s Artificial, reported by Variety‘s Ellise Shafer and Alex Ritman, with mixed reactions passed along by “Page Six Hollywood’s” Tatiana Siegel?
Variety: “Prior to being dropped by Amazon, Artificial already had several test screenings, which went down very positively, and screened for other studios on Thursday. According to an insider who has seen the movie, the characters of Sam Altman and Elon Musk are the least sympathetic and the ones audiences would ‘like the least’. It’s also understood that Amazon had seen all the early iterations of the script, before Guadagnino boarded the project.”
