““Who’s Daisy?” Klara asks.”
“From there, “Klara and the Sun” devolves into a kind of kooky pas de deux between Chrissie and Klara as Josie convalesces.”
“Or are Waititi and co-writer Dahvi Waller deliberately obfuscating as some kind of middle finger to the audience?”

“She’s human on the outside, but all conductor wires and an inky, petrol-like liquid on the inside.”
“The New Zealand actor and filmmaker is never an artist who takes the material too seriously.”
“Where Ishiguro whisks you away with crisp, powerful prose in his celebrated dystopian fable, Waititi instead thwacks you with relentless whimsy and soul-crushing tweeness in an inadvertent(?) bid for director jail.”
“That would be Kara, a now-obsolete B2 model android companion.”

“(“If I Had Legs I’d Kick You” writer/director Mary Bronstein, however, is hopefully coming to the rescue with her next movie .) For a movie filled with self-driving cars and powered by artificial intelligence, this “Klara” goes nowhere but straight into the sun of disaster, and without intelligence of any kind.”
“But the Lifting procedure has stricken Josie with some sort of unspecified neurological disorder that gets activated when the duo and Josie’s friend Rick (Aran Murphy) take a joyride in Chrissie’s self-driving Buick.”
“See how he turned fascism into Oscar-minted farce with Best Adapted Screenplay winner “Jojo Rabbit.” Here, his clumsy, winky, affected, and self-undercutting direction can’t even work the charming Jenna Ortega to a great performance, as her Klara is flattened into a bundle of manic pixie mannerisms both physical and verbal.”

“Ortega’s plenty magnetic on Netflix’s “Wednesday,” but her streak of recent film roles — from Sundance’s grueling art-world satire “The Gallerist” to the disastrous Weeknd vehicle “Hurry Up Tomorrow” and A24’s busted monster franchise-nonstarter “Death of a Unicorn” — suggests her talents are being staggeringly misapplied on the big screen.”
