'EX MACHINA'

WOMEN OF COLOUR AND THE AI FANTASY.

10 years since 'Ex Machina' first hit the big screen, it remains a classic of the sci-fi genre. The film is a subversion of the genre and a reversal of the cards dealt as Ava (Alicia Vikander) is able to make her escape from a cruel and unforgiving creator. However, does the film suffer from its portrayal of women of colour? To read our retrospective review of 'Ex Machina' and find out more, click here now.
