Smiles and Kisses You
If you can't meet her, make her

Chris, a thirty-something gas station employee, lives in North Carolina with his girlfriend Mimi, a live-sized 'love doll', who he communicates with through an AI app. A clear-eyed, open-hearted and fascinating take on machine learning and AI, the rising levels of loneliness, and the social implications for people who may seek safety and control over their circumstances in ways they cannot find elsewhere in life.

"
this is a film about a man grappling with trauma, grief, and a very morally grey pursuit for closure as much as a search for a source of comfort, and the filmmaker excels in putting these concerns front and centre.” –
