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.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
At heart it's a terribly anguished expression of rejection, loneliness and love. If only it knew when to stop.
Temperamentally, Spielberg and Kubrick are such polar opposites that A.I. has the moment-to-moment effect of being completely at odds with itself.
The most puzzling, trippiest piece of pop fantasy of Spielberg's career.
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.
