A confined domestic drama, a considerable morality tale, a fleeting futuristic noir, a persecution parable, an on-the-nose fairy tale adventure... and then it keeps going.

At heart it's a terribly anguished expression of rejection, loneliness and love. If only it knew when to stop.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Rotten
Temperamentally, Spielberg and Kubrick are such polar opposites that A.I. has the moment-to-moment effect of being completely at odds with itself.
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture
Fresh
The most puzzling, trippiest piece of pop fantasy of Spielberg's career.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
Fresh
The most philosophical film in Kubrick's canon, the most intelligent in Spielberg's, and quite possibly the film with the most contemporary relevance that either one has made since Kubrick released Dr. Strangelove in 1964.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
