Klara (Jenna Ortega) is a companion android, a slightly outdated model, bought to keep a sick girl named Josie company in a future where genetic engineering has split people into strict classes. Amy Adams, Steve Buscemi and Natasha Lyonne fill out the house. Taika Waititi directs and co-wrote it from Kazuo Ishiguro's novel. Taika Waititi adapting Kazuo Ishiguro is a sentence nobody had on their bingo card.
Anyone who has ever said thank you to a smart speaker.
